Hi there, if you could open Gparted and post a screenshot that would help. If it's a standard OEM Windows installation it probably has an extended partition that can't be changed.
Thank you geckolinux 369 MB on rural copper so will be a while until I can get Gparted running ... will be back with results.
While waiting .... Windows disc management has "Shrink Volume available and a test "look" states it can give up 80GB ... is that any help?

It's pre-installed in GeckoLinux.
Thank you "geckolinux". Gparted from within Gecko booted from usb only shows the external microSD card, as exFat. No other devices/volumes in the main window (refreshed). So now the only way is to have Gecko on an external second drive then ?
Ah, so that's the problem. It's probably a similar issue (or the same) to this: https://askubuntu.com/a/696646
Ouch ! Thank you "geckolinux". I was thinking of doing an "in place" upgrade to Windows so will check with "TenForums" and see what they advise. Thank you for your help. Really like the Gecko (so much easier than the full Leap (even though it says that is what it is) Over and out. Paul

And have 40% free on C: drive. (GeckoLinux advised perhaps insufficient space or extended partition) Macrium sees 4x partitions on 256GB (1x FAT & 3x NTFS)
GeckoLinux suggested asking at Calamares but their notes suggest posting here first. Dell Latitude 5500, i5 vPro 8th gen, nvme 256GB ssd, 16GB ram ... no mods other than delay Windows build updates, currently to date with 1909 build. Gecko from usb 'sees' the extra microSD card plugged in but no view of the Windows bits (familiar with that view from earlier OpenSuse installations).
Also noted elsewhere some mentions of nvme ssds causing issues ? Paul
