Windows 10: ===>**please help**[Windows 10 Storage Settings-additional system reserve files on...

Hello,


I have windows 10 home edition, and have windows 10 installed on my SDD. To save space, i thought to move my personal files to my secondary hard drive HD.


This created a "system & reserved" file space of 750Mb.


Now when I want to create a windows image backup, it is requesting the amount of used data contained within both the SDD and the HDD-so that was problematic, so I moved all the storage default back to the SDD.


Now the issue is that the system& reserve storage allocation for Windows 10 is still on the secondary HD and that prevents me from doing my easy/small image backup, jumping from 40GB used space on SDD, relevant system files to 2TB 40GB system files+used space in HD.


The goal would be to remove the system&reserved file allocation of 750MB in the HD. found when I go Settings>View Storage usage on other drives>[selected other drive, the HD drive]


Thank you for all the help you can provide on the subject


Regards,

Frustrated user.

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

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
