Hi,
Sorry for the late reply I wasn't home and thank you very much. I have both data and apps/games on the second partition. Would it be possible to clone the system partition and then just copy the other drive?

Hi, i recently bought a new drive (I will be using both new and old one). The old one has two partitions, one for system (100Gb) and the other one for the rest and I would like to avoid it this time. I wanted to clone the old disc into the new one but can't seem to find a way to do it without making the same partitions. Joining the two partitions on the old one would suffice as well but i can't change it's size in the disc management either. Thanks in advance for help.

It is not possible in Windows to join two partitions that contain data, that would corrupt the data on the second partition.
What is on the second partition, is it just data (your files) or are there apps/games installed on the second partition?
