Please help with my post installation issue obsolete system partition
Okay, so I have a Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.4 Dual Boot Set Up.
Windows 10 was behaving strange, all the text and icons were blocked out by white boxes. A through Google search yielded no relevant results. A repair made things worse. So I decided to reinstall the OS.
After reinstalling and then repairing GRUB (for those familiar with Linux), I saw that there were two loaders, or instances for Windows 10.
The first Windows 10 loader is what is essentially the System Reserved Partition but it doesn't work, and clicking on it takes me to:
The second Windows 10 loader boots into the new installation and works fine.
Now, this is what Disk Management displays:
So, it appears that during installation I hastily ignored the partition screen, and installed everything on C:
And the System Reserved partition appears to be pointless.
The help that I require is in deciding if it's okay to remove the System Reserved partition, or is it better to revive it by assigning it as the System partition, and if so how would I do that?
Thanks for reading, and would be delighted if anyone has any advice. :)
