Question is do you want to use system restore :)
...After that delete partition 2 if you want too.

The recovery partition does more than just system restore, but you can live without one - just make sure you have the latest bootable install usb handy (or make a recovery drive usb) as they include all the same tools. You never know when you might need the other repair functions normally provided by a recovery partition.

Might have to double check but I believe he already uses macrium reflect :/

Oops nope might be something to start using :)

Hi,

Just for info:

Personally I'd still like to have the EFI partition on drive #0 but that's just me.

Moving EFI from drive 1 to drive 0 is easy using minitool partition wizard free's partition copy function.

Hi,

My thoughts exactly. Always make a backup image before you start though.

Cheers,
