Windows 10: System reserved partition on HDD, not SSD where Windows is installed

More or less in the title. I wanted to encrypt my drive with Veracrypt, and found out that the partition Windows boots from is on my hard drive, where I keep things I don't want on my SSD, instead of on my SSD. Is there any way to move the partition to my SSD that doesn't involve a full reinstall of Windows?

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

 

System reserved partition created itself on the HDD instead of the SSD!Please help me!

Yes, I deleted the partitions on the SSD and HDD,and then firstly created partition on the SSD which automatically created the System Reserved,partition on the SSD,then I created a partition on the HDD.

I would like to thank to all of you for helping me ! *Smile

Reinstall Windows without any other drives plugged in. Kind of an lesser-known general rule when doing an OS install in a system with more than one HDD/SSD. The system partition cannot be removed and keep the OS functional. Delete the partition, resize the partition that was resized without your permission to get the lost space back and the unplug all other drives while you reinstall Windows. After the installation is complete plug them all back in. Make sure the system power is off when doing all of this plugging/unplugging.
