partitioning question W11

Disk Management on my laptop indicates two partitions that appear to be empty on Disk 0. The screenshot reveals then ... 2 areas at the right end. 1.41 GB and 13 MB unallocated. Seems to me these areas/spaces are being wasted and would like to dedicate them to the OS C: partition. Would appreciate opinions, advice, and instructions before I honk something up. Thank anyone in advance.

I think it's a waste of time & effort for 1GB but, if I was doing it, I'd use
MiniTool Partition Wizard
MiniTool Partition Wizard User Manual

Looking at your diagram, it seems to me that the only job worth doing is splitting the OS drive into two so your OS & applications drive is separate from your own-files drive. This would ease the burden of backing up & restoring [particularly the making of regular system images].

Personally, I leave about 130GB for my C drive [Windows & applications] and put the rest into a D drive for my own files [e.g. audio, video, MSOffice documents, ...].
This way I can make fairly small system images of my C drive quite quickly and I can restore them quickly if needs be.
I make simple file copy backups of the contents of my D drive.

The 13mb is as it says, unallocated. That could be joined to the 1.41gb partition. Could the 1.41gb be the original laptop manufacturers recovery space? If you never want to use it (if it is) you could add it with the 13mb to your OS (C) partition.

I think the other members could appreciate it if you completed your "My Computer" with a little more detail. Then they could give better advice than me.

Leave it as is. Some laptop manufacturers do some odd partitioning for their recovery methods.
Not worth potential problems for such a small amount of lost disc space.

Maybe someone with knowledge of the particular Laptop brand ? can comment.
