    Move system partition to system reserve partition


    I had just install a new m.2 NVMe card yesterday and had cloned my primary drive over to the m.2. It was working wonderfully and was booting up okay then I had decided to clear the original primary drive. I had then tried updating windows from settings and when it tried to boot up I got an error saying bootmgr was missing. I had reinstalled windows with the media creation tool back onto the original drive after it wouldn't let me install onto the m.2. I now boot from the original drive then it goes to a screen saying there are two volumes that retain a copy of windows. I select the first one and I notice Its running from my m.2 as per the image. It shows boot and is the C: drive but the other disk that i boot from still says system in the partition.

    I would like to know how I can safely move the system partition over to my m.2 and boot from it without it asking for a volume to select when starting. Please and thank you!

    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?

    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.
