The Windows built-in tools, such as Diskpart and Disk Management, don't have the Move volume feature, which allows you to relocate partitions within the disk. Hence, you'll need to use a reliable third-party tool to move the recovery partition to the end of the disk.

Step 2: Resize or move the partition

1.To shrink the partition, simply drag one of its ends to free up unallocated space. Once done, click "OK".
