How to expand disk space?

[TGMadsen]

Hi,

I can't figure this one out. I have (or had) OS X 10.11.1 installed on a 250 GB SSD. VMWare Fusion 8.0.2 and Windows 10 x64 Pro as a virtual machine.

120 GB disk space for Windows 10.

Now I have installed a 512 GB SSD instead (cloned from the old disk to the new with Carbon Copy Cloner). Everything works except I can't figure out how to expand my Windows partition after I have assigned 250 GB to Windows in VMWare Fusion. When I run diskmgmt.msc I see this:

As you can see, I can't expand the Windows10 partition. The recovery partition is "in the way". Shouldn't the recovery partition be at the beginning of the partition and how can I move it there? If I can't move it, can I delete it instead with diskpart or something similar?

Best regards

Forget it. I used Parted Magic to first delete the recovery partition and afterwards expanding the Windows 10 partition, so problem solved.
