One more question about partitioning the new drive. Attached is the image of the Partitions recommended by Apricorn.
I don't understand the File System Extension (shown in light striped green). For example, the Partition 3 (OS):
Solid green is what on my current C: drive (that is minimum necessary)
Lighter Green - Original File System
Striped Green (lighter) - File System Extension.
Is this File System Extension space be usable for whatever I need? I just don't understand why Apricorn would not "cover" the enter partition with Original File System.
Confused.
