Product: Notebook 15-dy1078nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

My HP only see the Notebook 15-dy1078nr's hard drive has 3 partitions: EFI (260GB) , Windows (237.72 GB), and Recovery (487 GB). I can only use the Windows partition and I would like to expand it, but the Disk Management application doesn't allow me to do it. My account is an administrator's account

@SamFL 

 

Your have to give room for it to expand by reducing space from other partition (next to it). In short

 

(a) Reduce/shrink space from other partition (must be next to it),

(b) Merge or expand Windows partition using un-allocated space,

 

Regards.
