Is System Reserved Necessary on my 2ndary drive?

[KurtOn]

So i did a fresh install on my SSD while ago, i understand that System Reserved is/are essential boot files to load up windows, but here is the thing. That partition is on my HDD drive (which is my secondary) and is only used for storage, while on my SSD (main drive) has OS installed but there aint no System Reserved partition, thing is, even when i disconnect my HDD, my SSD boots fine, even without that partition, so am i free to delete that partition that is on my HDD? (kinda triggers me OCD that i dont have)

Thanx in advance.

Yes, the partition would only be useful on a boot drive. Some folks even have Win install itself w/o the sys partition.

Yes, the partition is only necessary on a boot drive. And you verified that the HDD was not using the sys partition. Some folks even have Win install itself w/o the sys partition.

So i am free to remove that partition, since i can boot nornally without it?

Yes. I usually reformat my HDD when I re purpose it as a storage drive.

The REAL way to know is to test.
Power off
Disconnect everything except your C drive
Power up.

Does it boot correctly?
If so, then you do not need that partition.
