I have a handmedown laptop currently running Windows 7 that I would like to install Linux Lite alongside on (this would be my third Linux Lite computer). I'm reading the Help manual but I'm a bit confused.
This computer has about 350 (wut) GB storage. It is partitioned into two parts, C and a larger partition D (I'm assuming previous owner hasn't jammed another hard drive into the laptop but rather C and D are the same drive). I have cleaned out D so it's currently empty. Apparently there's a few other partitions as well, it says "primary partition" on all of them. So, what exactly do I need to do here? I would like to merge C and D (and the other partitions as well if possible), should I just "Delete this partition", will that automatically make C "absorb" the deleted partition?
EDIT: I went ahead and checked out the Linux Lite install menu. So, eventually I reach a screen that says partitions 8 and 9 of SCSI1 are gonna be formatted... what are those? If I set aside space for Lite I wanna make sure that's where Lite ends up. I don't want to click continue before I know for sure.
