How to move the recovery partition on Windows 10?

I upgraded to Windows 10 and a 450Mb Recovery partition was created on my disk. I would like to extend the system partition but the Recovery partition is in the way.

How can I move the Recovery partition to the end of the disk volume without installing third party software?

You can't do it using Windows 10 tools only. Not from Disk Management, neither using DISKPART. I personally recomend MiniTool Partition Wizard. Always backup your files before doing these kinds of operations.

Thanks for the recommendation @milo8505. I have Windows 10 Pro version and for that I expected to handle such trivial tasks natively, now I see this is again something not to look for in the MS world... :/ – pharsfalvi – 2019-06-28T00:58:09.523

It's not a trivial task. Windows relies on this partition for specific functions. It's not very large either, so there's no great benefit to moving it for the majority of people. – music2myear – 2019-06-28T18:45:41.223
