Have you considered cloning your current hard drive? With a utility like EaseUS todo backup free, you can clone your operating system and installed programs.

Okay thank you! But after I moved my System Reserved P. to Drive 0, instead of being marked as active, my recovery partition is marked as active, so my (hopefully last) question is can I simply set the SRP as active and the Recovery as inactive? (I know only one active partition is allowed to be on one disk)

Thank you! My (hopefully last) question is : After I moved the System Reserved Partition to Disk 0 with EasyBCD, instead of being marked as active, my recovery partition is active. So, can I simply mark the SRP as active and the RP as inactive? ( I know only one active partition can be on a disk).

Sorry for delay...
This could be because Windows 10 System Reserved is bigger than that of Windows 7 (450 MB vs 100 MB). You should be capable to mark that partition inactive (first set no letter for that drive..)
Did you restart system after moving system to Disk 0? Also try to remove disk 1 (old 160 GB) to see if Windows boot normally.
Another powerful tool is Minitool partition wizard. You can install it or just make bootable drive, boot with it and delete 450 MB partition and extend that 100 MB to fill the available space.
Edit: you can also run System repair from restarting Windows 10...
