Hello all,
I have been encountering problems with Windows 10 and am going to clean install it on my SSD. I realised that I did not unplug my HDD the first time I installed windows 10 on the SSD and as a result, I have the "system reserved" partition on my D drive, which I had only intended to use for storage. I believe this has been the cause of some of my problems.
Either way, I am downloading the Windows 10 media creation tool and will clean (re)install it on my SSD and this time hopefully the installer will put the system reserved partition on that drive. However, when I plug my HDD back in, I assume I will still have the old system reserved partition on it.
2 Questions: -Will the old system reserved partition on my D drive be a problem? (I can keep it but would prefer not to) -How do I go about deleting the system reserved partition on my D drive after everything is (hopefully) successfully installed onto my SSD?
I can post a pic of my disk management if its helpful, currently my disk 0 is my D drive (system reserved and healthy partition with games) and disk 1 is my SSD (boot, page file, crash dump and recovery). Is this a problem?
https://www.tenforums.com/installation-upgrade/33301-moving-system-reserved-partition-different-drive-image.html This is basically my problem however the commenters suggest software to do the transfer - I'd like to avoid this as I need to clean install windows 10 on my SSD anyway. If possible, I'd like to keep the partition with my games on it intact (I don't want to have to re-download like 500gb of games on my internet connection)
