Clone To A Large SSD With Macrium Reflect

I guys.

I am about to clone to a larger SSD, and I don't want to leave any unallocated space.
There are 3 partitions there. System Reserved, Operating System and a Recovery Partition on the right which the Windows installer must have created as I built the computer myself. Do I need that Recovery Partition? If I do, can I put the operating system on the right so I can extend it to maximum to avoid unallocated space?

The last time I did a clone, I had to use a third party partition tool afterwards to extend unallocated space because my OS partition wasn't adjacent to the unallocated space because of the Recovery Partition.

Below is a screenshot of the drive in Disk Management, and the Reflect clone window. Do I need that one on the right?





MiniTool says the Recovery Partition can be deleted safely.
I don't even know what it would contain on my drive.

You can delete that recovery partition: you lose:
- automatic repair (which usually doesn't automatically repair much)
- the ability to boot to advanced startup options (e.g. via SHIFT + left click Restart) including System Restore, command prompt, Safe Mode

Note: lacking that partition:
- you can add some features to your boot menu - see tutorials
- you can boot to the same features by booting from a Win 10 bootable medium.

The space is often insignificant, so I wouldn't bother. Normally the recovery partition is first.

There is a huge difference between the large (Gb's) recovery partition used for factory reset which may or may not have a drive letter, and the small one created by Windows, which has no drive letter.

As you have deleted it, you need to make due preparation if you want to
- boot to Safe Mode
- use System restore
- boot to a command prompt
for example.

Any upgrade action will create a Recovery partition as you have none.

Windows used to sometimes create a 2nd recovery partition (occasionally lots with repeated failed upgrade attempts) but this seems to have reduced with more recent builds.
