Windows 10: Boot files missing from system reserved partition

My husband is trying to move boot files from the hard drive to the ssd, but there are no files showing in the system reserved partition. I have checked, they are not hidden. He originally had my windows 10 on a thumb drive but has already deleted it so we cannot start over that way. I offered to buy windows 10 again but he says that this one is already on the computer and can't be removed. Do you have any advice how to fix this? I'm afraid to turn off the computer, that it might not boot again.

Win7 System Reserved Partition Full

Isn't that what the system reserved partition is ? Or is it just a backup incase the windows boot files get corrupt?

 

Two System Reserve Partitions

I have two hard drives on my computer, an SSD with my operating system (Windows 8.1 which I just successfully upgraded to Windows 10) and an hdd for additional storage. After upgrading to Windows 10 I noticed that I now have two System Reserve Partitions.
One partition is on the SSD and the other is on the hdd. Both contain bootmgr and similar files. The files on the hdd have newer file modified/created dates than those on the ssd System Reserve partition. If I set my BIOS to boot from the SSD I get the
blue screen message "no bcd found". If I set the BIOS to boot from the hdd it takes over a minute, but Windows 10 boots fine.

I'm guessing that the System Reserve partition on the hdd (storage hard drive) contains the boot files for Windows 10, but Windows 10 is not installed on that drive, it is installed on the SSD (which I think has the old Windows 8.1 boot files on its own
System Reserve partition).

I've given the two System Reserve partitions drive letters so that I can see the contents of the drives. Can I simply copy the contents of the newer System Reserve partition onto the older System Reserve partition so that Windows 10 will boot from the same
SSD that it is installed on?

Thanks for any suggestions,

Craig
