hard drive - Shrink volume - Error: parameter incorrect - Window 10

I've just buy a new HP laptop (PC) with 256Gb SSD storage running Window 10, and I'm trying to split my C drive into 2 partitions.
In the Computer Management window under Storage >> Disk Management I right click the C drive and click Shrink Volume, and get the Error parameter incorrect

My disk is split into:
Disk #1 260MB - Healthy (EFI)
Disk #2 224GB - Windows (C Drive)
Disk #3 980MB - Healthy (Recovery)
Disk #4 12GB - Recover (D Drive)

I believe I get the error due to the fact that the Disk #3 - Healthy (Recover) Disk is located after the C drive - This is only a theory.

How can I Shrink my C drive???

Answer

OK, so I find a solution - using a slag-hammer - formatting this machine. I know that this solution is quite extreme but it's OK for me since this is a new machine without any user data.

After talking with an expert in this field, he explains to me that indeed as I thought - I can't shrink C drive, because the shrinking process takes the end of the drive and uses this memory for the new drive. However, my C drive had a recovery partition (the 980MB) at the end of it - therefore Windows couldn't shrink this drive since the end of the drive is occupied.

So my solution was formatting Window (no licenses or activation code was needed since Windows 10 uses the old activation key when reformatting Windows)

And in the formatting process, I deleted the Healthy and Recover (D drive) since it's really don't needed (I can simply install a clean version of Windows, instead of restoring to manufacture defaults - this way I got additional 12GB of space)
