I cloned a HDD drive in an HP laptop to a new NVME SSD drive with Macrium Reflect. It cloned the HP recovery partition, so now both drives have one (showing as separate Recovery D and F drives).
Should I remove this recovery partition from the SSD or the HDD? What would happen if I ever used it to factory reset the laptop? Would it mess up since Windows is now on the SSD and not the HDD the recovery partition was initially made for?
Also, if I delete the recovery, can I expand the main Windows partition to reclaim that space? The recovery is the fourth partition in the list, Windows is on the second. The third one is another recovery partition, I guess the one that Windows makes itself.
