How to move Windows recovery partition to end of disk without risking data?

Moving the Windows recovery partition to the end of the disk can be a delicate process, as it involves modifying disk partitions. If done incorrectly, it could lead to data loss or system instability. 

Preparation

1. Backup Your Data: Before making any changes, back up all important data to an external drive or cloud storage.
2. Ensure Power Stability: If you’re working on a laptop, ensure it’s plugged into a power source to avoid interruptions.
3. Create a Recovery Drive: Use the Windows Recovery Drive tool to create a bootable USB recovery drive in case something goes wrong.

How to safely move the recovery partition to the end of the disk

1. Download and install a reliable partition management tool and locate the recovery partition.
2. Right-click the recovery partition and select Move/Resize.
3. Drag the recovery partition to the end of the disk (into the unallocated space).
4. Apply the changes. The tool will likely prompt you to restart your computer to complete the operation.
5. After moving the recovery partition, you’ll have unallocated space between the main partition and the recovery partition.
6. Right-click the main partition (C:) and select Extend Volume. Follow the wizard to merge the unallocated space back into the main partition.
7. Open Disk Management again to ensure the recovery partition is at the end of the disk and the main partition is extended correctly. Restart your computer and ensure Windows boots normally.

If you're unsure or uncomfortable performing these steps, consider seeking assistance from a professional or using built-in Windows tools to avoid risks.
