How to expand the Windows partition when the Recovery one is in the way?

My partitions on my primary disk look like this:

I would like to expand C: with the Unallocated space but the 946 MB Recovery partition is in the way.

1. Is there a way to swap the Recovery partition with the Unallocated space (= move it to the end of the disk), to have contiguous WINDOWS and Unallocated space?
2. what would be the consequences of removing that 946 MB Recovery partition? There are numerous articles mentioning that it exists and how to remove it (with diskpart), but not what it actually stores and whether it is primordial to have it (as opposed to having a Windows 10 media disk one can boot from and go into repair mode)
