System Reserved is on the HDD and I can not install it to the SSD Drive

[matebalint1]

I have a HDD and an SSD in my computer [SSD is in the place of the CD/DVD driver], I could not remove the HDD because of the warranty, and could not find how to set the sequence of the hard drives in BIOS.
So I wanted to install Windows 10 to the SSD but I have not succeeded. Now the System Reserved partition is on the HDD and the Windows files are on the SSD.

I have 2 questions:
1. How can I install everything to the SSD without removing the HDD?
2. Is it a problem that the System Reserved is on the HDD? I know so that this partition boots. Is my computer slower so than if the System Reserved would be on the SSD? And when uses the System reserved the HDD?

Hi, I ran into a similar problem a few days ago after installing my first SSD.

Here is basically what is going on, each copy of Windows has it's own Reserved partition on the drive where it is installed. You are likely now seeing the Reserved partition in "This PC" (My Computer) and wondering why. Is this correct?

Windows hides the "Reserved" partition on the drive is it running on, however, it does not hide it on the old hard drive. Therefore it's likely that you have a new invisible Reserved partition on your SSD, and a now visible Reserved partition on your old hard drive. You can check this by opening Computer Management in your Start Menu and clicking on Disk Management.

Here is how my Disk Management looks:

Disk 0 is my new SSD.

Disk 1 is my old hard drive where Windows was installed. Note that both have a Recovery partition. The one on my SSD in invisible because it's my currently running Windows. The one on my old hard drive was visible, until I right clicked on it in Disk Management and deleted the Drive Letter for it.

Therefore, if everything above checks out with what you see on your system, answers to your questions:
1. Everything is installed on your SSD, your Reserved partition is already there it's just hidden. Check Disk Management.
2. That Reserved partition is from your old copy of Windows and you can hide it in Disk Management by right clicking on it and deleting it's drive letter. Be sure you choose the correct one, on your hold hard drive.

I hope this helps.

Hi, first of all thank you for your answer but I am afraid we have different problems
Here is my Disk Management
Disk 0: old HDD
Disk 1: new SSD
How you see my Reserved partition had not a drive letter, I have not noticed it in the Windows File Explorer in "This PC", only here, in Disk Management.
So I see it so that on my SSD where the windows system files are, there is not any System Reserved partition, the installer made one on the old HDD only, and I do not know its function.

In your Disk Management are two RECOVERY partitions, but these do not seem to be similar to me. The names are the same but you can change it with right clicking. The difference is down, after "Healthy". You have the "System" word only once, on your PC it is on Disk 0 also on the SSD, on mine also on Disk 0 but it is the HDD, and i think that is the problem [if it is].
And it would be great for me if i could change the sequence of the hard drives by installing Windows to be so, how on your PC is, but I could not find the way for it in my BIOS. I mean this option that this guy shows in this video
but I think my BIOS do not have this option or just I am really stupid...

Hi, I agree, your problem is completely different. I see 2 problems here.

1. You should have set your SSD up to be the first drive (Drive 0) and moved your HDD to the 2nd position. Whenever possible, you want the main boot drive to be Drive 0. You can do this by unplugging the HDD and then plug the SSD into the same cords where the HDD was. (Basically just reverse the cords from how they are now).

2. Unplug the HDD when installing Windows. You only want the SSD installed while installing Windows, then afterwards you can plug your HDD up again.

Is this a fresh install? If so, I recommend starting all over with the above information. Be sure the HDD is unplugged when installing Windows to the SSD. Afterwards, be sure the SSD is Disk 0 and the HDD is Disk 1.
