Looks OK to me.
You could transfer to a new SSD by either cloning or imaging.
After you finish, you may as well assign that 450 mb unallocated to C. It's not doing you any good when it's unallocated.
You can do that with Partition Wizard.
Was that "recovery partition" on the laptop when you purchased it?
I'm assuming it was.
You'd have to keep that recovery partition if you think you might some day want to restore to the factory configuration.
If you don't care about that, you could delete it.
But---no reason to do that right now. I'd go ahead and get it firing on all cylinders on the new SSD and then reconsider your options.
Or you should be able to do a clean install directly to the new SSD and not worry about any type of transfer. That would create the necessary partitions and would omit that recovery thing.
Great I wasn’t sure what the recovery partition was I deleted the original backup partition before I cloned the drive, the original hdd was replaced with this ssd drive.thanks for your help I might try a clean install first it’s just the time it takes to install all your programs etc easy option to clone.thanks again to all for your help.
Thanks for that I’ll give it a try,new drives on order.
