Sorry if this is in the wrong section, wasn't sure where to put it. I multi-boot C: (Win 7), L: (Win 10) and N: (another Win 10) - all internal drives. T and up are on an external drive.
Look at this picture and tell me what the partitions are that I've arrowed and in particular the one I highlighted in yellow which is seemingly locked so I can't do anything with it. I can't move, merge or format it, properties say something about MBR. The other arrowed ones I assume are put there by Acronis T.I. These unknown ones are all new to me.
Note: Acronis is not supposed to do anything but a backup once a week of C: drive to V: drive, nothing else.
Or, is there a new Windows process insitiuted since I refused the Win 10 upgrade for C: ???
...and yes I've done an elevated disc cleanup on C:....several times.
Edit: sorry DM is confusing as the display is out of order, disc letter-wise.
