Moving recovery partitions - problem
Hi, so I recently bought a new samsung ssd 970 evo plus with 1TB storage to upgrade my laptop, I have clean installed windows 10 but noticed the install is not as special as it used to be on my old kingston ssd. For example there was no oem stuff and the default name was always DESKTOP and some characters (used to be LAPTOP and characters), so I have formatted the main C :\ partition and applied the ASUS.swm image from the recovery partition of my old ssd and it's all fine, however there's this problem. When I use advanced startup in settings (or just restart while holding shift) I get redirected to windows recovery most likely from the old SSD because it has the ASUS recovery option (when i select cmd and it reboots to the winre ramdisk it does not show up there), so this indicates a weird issue where windows looks at 2 recovery partitions instead of the new one (probably caused by me applying the SWM image and keeping the old recovery partition?). So now I'd like to do something like this: Move 3 partitions (including recovery) from the old SSD to the new one. The partition table is basically the same as I have never split any of the disks into partitions, so it looks like EFI, C:\ and recovery on the samsung ssd (main disk) and EFI, C:\, Recovery, RESTORE, MyASUS on the old ssd. While installing windows on the new ssd I have removed the old one to not have 1 efi on the old ssd (basically if i ever removed the old SSD the OS on the new ssd would not boot) so I'm fine with removing the old ssd for good after this. I also wanna do this because I might upgrade to 11 soon and feel like something is gonna break, for example with the weird recovery behaviour, but I don't know where to begin from. Would also be best if I don't have to format the disk again because I already put stuff here. If I posted in the wrong thread please lmk asap so i can post it in the correct place. Thanks
