Unfortunately partitions cannot be copied. However, you may use any image software available in the market which will help in backing up all the partitions in the computer.
Dell systems do require recovery partitions. This acts as a link between operating system and recovery application. So in future if you want to take the computer back to factory state you will not be able to do so if recovery partition is altered. There is no way to transfer 5.24GB free space to the main partition.

Can I make a copy of the partition so I can put a larger drive in?
