After MBR2GPT, my disk has 5 partitions, 2 unused - can I combine the unused space? Thanks!

Hi - I noticed after MBR2GPT and an update to Win11, that my system disk looks like the below.  I'm not sure how I got here, but it would be great to combine the unallocated 92GB with the NTFS partition - can someone point me in the right direction?  Thanks!

Moving partitions is risky. Make backups of important stuff before diving in.

I would recommend putting Ventoy on to a usb stick and the using Gparted from that.

Have fun.😎

Thanks - I figured out the problems were due to the SSD over-provisioning, so no need to venture into gpart.  but thanks!
