Moving to a bigger SSD problems

Thread needs solution

Hello

I backuped smaller disk, booted with cd, restored as it is on bigger drive.

Booted from bigger drive but now can not expand C partition (from windows storage app) to occupy free space because (i think)  there are 3 partition on disk and C is not the last in order.

Is there anyway to reorder partitions and fix this?

(i know i can use clone disk utility that autoresize partitions but this method not handy at this time)

Nikos, welcome to these public User Forums.

If your new SSD is larger than the original one, then you may find that ATI has not expanded the C: OS partition to use the full new size of the new SSD.  If so, then this is quite simple to resolve as below:

First, download a copy of the free MiniTool Partition Wizard software, install this, then use it to move the Windows Recovery partition (that is shown after the C: OS partition) to the end of the available unallocated space. 

Next, resize the C: OS partition to use the available unallocated space.
