I'm attempting to install the software on Windows 10 64x system but it states
'The last partition on your system drive cannot be resized, which is required to enable Intel Optane memory.'
Im guessing there is a partition somewhere that i need to unlock or something but i honestly have no idea what i am doing or how to fix this.
Any help?
Attached intel log file and dxdiag.

Hello Ianlast,
This error occurs when there is an unmovable recovery partition at the end of your current drive. Since active recovery partitions are protected by Windows* and cannot be moved nor resized, Intel® Optane™ will be unable to write it's required metadata information at the end of your disk.
Ideally, you should try to move the recovery partition 5MB away from the end of your drive. If this is not possible, you would need to consider deleting the recovery partition altogether and creating a recovery disk in it's place.
While we don't provide support for this action directly, the following article may help:

On a personal note, in the past I've had great success performing this type of operations using http://www.partition-tool.com/ EaseUS Partition Master*.

Hi dekoer,
We would like to inform you that the Optane(TM) Module does not support NVMe* drives. It only supports SATA based boot drives.
You already have a fast SSD. Optane(TM) accelerates the SATA Boot Drives and provides you similar speeds as you will get with an NVMe* SSD.
For more information, you can check the https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000024018/memory-and-storage/intel-optane-memory.html Frequently Asked Questions for Intel® Optane™ Memory
Regards,
Junior M.
