Windows 10: Windows 10 - 2.1 RAM reserved for system

The OS is reserving a lot of RAM from my pc... how i fix it? i need to reduce it as much as possible. Thanks

:)

 

System Reserved?


Step Three:

- Open the Disk Management utility.

 

System Reserved Partition on Disk 1 not Disk 0

The results were the same as before: Windows is installed in a single 477 GB partition on Disk 0 and the System Reserved is in a 500 MB partition on Drive 1. The rest of Drive 1 is unallocated. This is identical to the configuration I had when I asked the
question.

The Media Creation Tool used to created the install ISO DVD is v. 10.0.14393 downloaded on 12/13/2016.

I followed your instructions:

• I selected Drive 0 and deleted the existing Windows partition.
• I clicked New and Apply. Windows then formatted Drive 0 as a single primary partition.
• The existing System Reserved partition was still on Drive 1.
• So I deleted the System Reserved partition on Drive 1 and the just created Primary partition on Drive 0
• I then selected Drive 0 and clicked New and Apply again. Same result a single Primary partition on Drive 0. Drive 1 was left unallocated.
• Upon completion of the install
  • Windows occupies about 15 GB in the only partition on Drive 0
  • The 500 MB System Reserved partition was placed on Drive 1
  • The rest of Drive 1 is unallocated.

How can I get the System Reserved partition to be placed as the Partition 1 on Drive 0 with Windows installed in Partition 2?

Thanks.

Windows 10 Update can't update system reserved partition


This looks like a GPT initialized disk and UEFI firmware.

See Sample: Configure UEFI/GPT-Based Hard Drive Partitions by Using Windows PE and DiskPart for the default and recommended disk schema.

Your setup doesn't seem to have a Microsoft Reserved partition (different from System Reserved) - it has it's own type of MSR. This is a hidden part, so it might only be visible in Diskpart.

To cut down on any confusion, I would physically swap the drives so that
Disk 1 becomes Disk 0 and
Disk 0 becomes Disk 1.

It's just a matter of of pulling the connectors and reconnecting them to the other port.
After you have removed the bogus System REserve partition you created (as suggested by NavyLCDR) and swpped the drives,

Please post a new Disk Management screen shot:

Method One: Use Disk Management in the x-Menu (right click the Windows logo, select Disk Management)

Select View > Bottom > Disk list

Maximize the window and grab the screen shot.
Method Two: Use a custom MMC to present Disk Management with pertinent information

If you've already downloaded the custom MMC, go to Step 2 to launch it and then grab the screen shot.

Step 1: Download this zip file (contains dmDskmgr-vd.mmc)

dmDskmgr-vd.zip
Step 2: Double click dmDskmgr-vd.zip to open the compressed folder
Double click dmDskmgr-vd.mmc to launch the custom Disk Management console
You'll get an output similar to this:
