I bought an asusAsus transformer trio (2015) which iI opened only after 4 years (2019), so a windowsWindows 10 upgrade was in order. After the update, partition setup was like this:
Recovery | EFI Boot | MS Reserved | OS
iI wanted to recover disk space by deleting RECOVERY partition from the new ssd iSSD I had cloned it into and merge it with the OS partition, here was my solution:
-delete RECOVERY partition with mini partition tool
-image the resulting partition setup sans RECOVERY, UNALLOCATTED SPACE in lieu on a usb disk
-recover image to my ssd via macrium reflect, with method of dragging one partition at a time to destination disk in this order: EFI Boot | MS Reserve | OS
-what will remain at the left/end is the UNALLOCATTED SPACE which i was able to merge back to the OS partition with ease using mini partition tool
