And then I realized I didn't need windows anymore. What software would you recommend to convert the partitions left on the SSD to Linux mint compatible ones ?

I can already use them but only as storage.

Can I expand the 70 Go I had reserved for mint without having to go through a full reinstall?

What can I use and how ?

Please, thx

Gparted is a wonderful tool.

Please practice on a thumb drive or sd card to learn about partitions, formatting, and resizing before you touch anything production like your main hard drive.
