Windows 10 System reserve Partition

[Deleted member 1560910]

I just reinstalled windows on my 240 SSD and windows decided to make the system reserve on my 1Tb HDD. Is there and down side to this other than not being able to remove the hdd which would make windows not work because i dont mind having it in because i need the space ?

What you should have done is temporarily remove or disconnect the HDD before installing Windows.

Then you'd have been able to use that HDD elsewhere, or replace it after failure without any boot manager complications.

I wouldn't say creating a separate partition for the Boot Manager is "dumb stuff" - - not at all. There's a very logical reason for it.

What i ment was creating on the drive that isnt the boot drive. Im 100% sure it has a important reason for having one just windows choice were to put it at that moment is a bit questionable
