Windows 10: How to set Status of Partition as System

Hello,I have a question about Disk Management. I have bought a new ssd disk 2 and cloned my existing ssd disk 1 on that one, because i was running out of space. I changed the boot order and wanted to boot from the new disk, but got the windows recovery screen and the message that a file was missing or faulty windows\system32\winload.exe, error code: 0x000000e. So i have tried to repair the bootloader and copied the files from disk 1 to disk 2, like this:bcdboot C:\Windows /s E: /f ALLthis also didn't work and it had the side effect, that the system-reserved partition on my disk 0 is not

W7 Hard drive partition issue

to get rid of that 100 meg windows partition that setup creates for you on a new install on a blank hdd:

- press shift+f10 when on the partition management screen in setup <-- this opens a command prompt
- diskpart <-- start the windows command line partition management tool
- list disk <--- list the installed hdds in this computer for the next step
- select disk 0 <- might have to replace 0 with the number of the correct disk
- clean <-- this will erase all data on the disk you selected one step up- dont use the wrong disk!
- create partition primary <- creates a primary partition taking up all space on the drive, adjust the command if necessary
- exit, exit to exit diskpart and the command prompt
- click refresh in partition manager and select your newly created partition and install to that

 

Recovery Partition vs System Reserved Partition

Thanks for all the info guys.

Both original & target SSD's are listed as MBR as opposed to UEFI. I may have created a partition unknowingly in getting the original/new unformatted drive recognized, but I don't recall taking any steps that Windows did not step me through.

Not that an upgrade to WIN 10 Pro is contemplated, but I suspect that having no System Reserved partition will not allow that to happen, after seeing how the original WIN 10 upgrade created a problem for some WIN 7 users that had a smaller 100mb vs 500mb System Reserved partition.
