And then I realized I didn’t need windows anymore. What software would you recommend to convert the partitions left on the SSD to Linux mint compatible ones ?

I can already use them but only as storage.

Can I expand the 70 Go I had reserved for mint without having to go through a full reinstall?

What can I use and how ?

Please, thx

    GParted (available in the software center) is a graphical program for easily editing partitions.

    You can usually expand a partition into adjacent empty space.

    Reminder: Be careful of which partitions you edit, and also have backups of any important data on a separate device.

      Let this be a warning to all newbies. Messing with dual boot or changing partitioning on your drives can nuke all your data. I learned the hard way.

      Gparted is a wonderful tool.

      Please practice on a thumb drive or sd card to learn about partitions, formatting, and resizing before you touch anything production like your main hard drive.
