Long story short, I cloned my old SSD (Disk 1) into a new m.2 (Disk 0). Is GPT the right way to go ? Or MBR ?

But now I have ended up with a 1.76gb primary partition

I tried deleting it , and also extending my active one, but won't do anything

How can I get rid of this ? I normally prefer one drive without any partitions.

Also, now I have a F: drive which I suspect is the EFI System Partition (Disk 0). How can I remove that ?

There shouldn't be a problem with deleting it then move uefi and c to the left then grow c. You can't delete uefi as it's the boot partition you may find it simpler with free partition software

I used MiniTool for my cloning process. What do you mean by move uefi ?

Did you mean delete EFI as per my screenshot ? Is that safe ?

What about the 1.76gb E: drive ?

Move means move not delete which would stop it booting
