c: HP_Tools partition (Deletion)

[PaulAnthony]

Afternoon
I've just installed a 500GB SSD on a fairly old HP desktop PC (Pavilion 550...from 2016/17, Win10/64 bit); I'm trying to extend my C: (Disk 1 below) to include the new volume (Disk 0, drive assigned F:).  Just struggling.  Did this on an old Dell PC years ago with no issues.

Anyhow, there's a bunch of conflicting data online about how to extend, but the main thing is whether I can (or whether I should) delete the HP_Tools partition.  The PC is long out of warranty, it's runs just as well as it did when I got it, so there's little point in getting anything new, but obviously I want to extend the C: without coming unstuck.

Anyone able to assist?
Thanks

Paul
