Recovery Partition vs System Reserved Partition
I built a WIN 10 (home version) desktop a few months back with a single SSD as its C Drive. It all works fine. Today I went to clone that drive using Samsung Data Migration.
Disk Management shows that my originating SSD has both a healthy, primary bootable (main) partition plus a 471mb healthy Recovery partition on that C drive. There is no System Reserved partition.
The cloned recipient SSD did not include the Recovery partition.That cloned drive obviously has no System Reserved partition since the source drive does not. The cloning went well but I have not yet tested the clone. Before I do I had two questions.
1. Why didn't the Recovery partition get cloned?
2. Why is there no 500mb System Reserved partition (on either) which I thought WIN 10 needed to operate?
