    System reserve needs to be 500MB so you'll probably need to use a 3rd party program like EaseUS to expand the partition.

    edit assuming Disk Management cannot extend the volume.

    @dave.m.brown, 

    Your disk configuration does not look like a standard Win 10 UEFI system.

    The EFI partition looks correct, can be 100MB or 260MB depending on the type of disk used, but I don't see a system reserved partition here, that is usually on a legacy BIOS not a UEFI ?

    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/configure-uefigpt-based-hard-drive-partitions

    The Microsoft Reserved Partition is usually 16MB and you don't see it in disk Management, see Diskpart command below and the display with another utility.

    DISKPART> select disk 0

    Disk 0 is now the selected disk.

    DISKPART> list partition

      Partition ###  Type              Size     Offset

      -------------  ----------------  -------  -------

      Partition 1    System             260 MB  1024 KB

      Partition 2    Reserved            16 MB   261 MB

      Partition 3    Primary            475 GB   277 MB

      Partition 4    Recovery          1000 MB   475 GB
