How can I combine partitions on my SSD in Windows 11?

It sounds like your installation method caused some complications. If you installed Linux on the SSD instead of a USB, it could mess up how partitions are organized. When you right-click and see only help options, it typically means the partitions are probably not configured right for Windows to manage them easily. You may need a tool like EaseUS Partition Master or GParted to help clean it up.

To combine your partitions, if you don't need the data on those other partitions, just delete them and extend the Windows partition. You can do this through Disk Management. However, if the partitions aren’t contiguous, you might need more advanced software to move them around. If you're looking to run both Windows and Linux, you may need to consider reinstalling Linux afterward.

Just a heads up, always back up your data before making changes to your partitions. If you're facing issues with not seeing options in Disk Management, it could be due to how the partitions are set up. You may need to use third-party software if Windows isn't letting you delete or extend them.
