The first 1.48GB partition on that drive is also the system partition because it is marked as active. The second partition contains the Windows OS that is loaded when the computer boots from the system files in the first partition.
Hi, It's not unusual to find more than one Recovery partition (the smaller ones, related to Windows). The last is presumably for a factory reset. You can consider whether you wish to retain that for any reason.
In using a SSD, you should aim to use AHCI protocol for better performance. There's a tutorial on how to change from IDE to AHCI.
Is the SSD larger or smaller? If larger, easy, If smaller, you could omit the largest recovery partition.
One of the smaller will be the current one- you could tell by the date (explore partitions using e.g. Minitool Partition Wizard, or by certain command prompt commands mentioned in this forum a good number of times, and as indicated in the previous post.
Now you asked what you should clone to a new SSD on that computer. That depends on what functionality you want to retain. Personally, if it were I, I would only clone the C: drive partition over, use a bootable USB flash drive such as Kyhi's recover tools or a Windows 10 installation USB flash drive to get into a command prompt. Mark the C: drive on the SSD as active using diskpart, then use the bcdboot and bootrec commands to make it bootable. You would lose all the factory recovery options that way, though.
Would prefer not to lose the Factory Recovery Partition .
1) Open administrative command prompt and type or copy and paste:
Code:bcdedit /enum bcdedit | find "osdevice" reagentc /info diskpart list disk list volume select disk 0 detail disk list partition select partition 1 detail partition select partition 2 detail partition select partition 3 detail partition select partition 4 detail partition select partition 5 detail partition select disk 1 detail disk list partition exit
2) When these have completed > right click on the top bar or title bar of the administrative command prompt box > left click on edit then select all > right click on the top bar again > left click on edit then copy > paste into the thread
3) Post images of the Minitool partition wizard into the thread.
