Windows 10: Lost system reserved partition having moved from HDD to SSD

I appear to have lost system reserved partition having moved from HDD to SSD and have now removed it from my old HDD, i migrated my drive over to the new SSD using the the provided tool from Samsung.


Once the migration was complete, I noticed that the new drive did not have a system reserved partition. When i went to look at the old HDD to reformat the drive to use as a storage drive, it was there. I know that it was only taking up 99 MB but i deleted it before i realized what it was.


Is this going to cause me any problems?


Thanks in advance.

Shuld System Reserved partition be on SSD or HDD.

Hey.

I have invested in a fast pc, and I want everything to be best possible preformance. The system got a SSD and HDD running on Windows 10 64bit "pro"

This is maybe nothing, but shuld the System Reserved partition be on the SSD for the fastest usage, I am not sure if it matters or not but I want this system to be flawless and this is bugging me a little.

Hope for helpfull answeres.

 

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

 

Shuld System Reserved partition be on SSD or HDD.

As HairyFool says, don't worry about the System Reserved partition.

If you want to move anything, move the pagefile to the HDD. That improves the durability of the SSD, but not by a lot unless your SSD was manufactured with 19nm technology. If it was then definitely move the pagefile and turn off System Restore (I assume
you have an aggressive backup plan).

The system changes folks make when using an SSD don't affect performance as much as increase durability since they reduce writes to it. In general though, durability is not as much of an issue as some people like to say because normally you won't live long
enough to wear one out. For sure, they outlast the OS, applications, and particularly the computer you installed it in. They last decades.

The rule that bigger is better especially applies to SSDs because of wear-leveling. A 1TB SSD will last eight times longer than a 128GB one, given the same usage pattern. But then what does eight times "decades" matter anyway?
