Windows 10: Remove system reserved partition

I recently built a new pc, installed windows on my m.2 and everything works great etc. I decided to bring my old HDD and SSD and connect them. The old SSD was recently my main C drive, with Windows installed, but now im not using it for anything else then normal storage. I now see two system reserved partitions, from what i think is my old SSD. (Not the m.2 ssd atleast).

I should be able to remove the system reserved partitions, since they wont mess up my windows boot etc, right?

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.
