Two System reserved partitions

For some reason I have two system reserved partitions on my system. One of them is on my nvme ssd which I have my OS, windows 10 pro, installed on and the other is on my hard drive. When I go to disk management I can delete/format the one on my ssd but not the one on my hard drive. I found this strange as I assumed that the one on the ssd would the one that I would need to keep considering that is where my OS is installed. Could someone help me with which one I can delete/format and how to go about doing so if there is no option in disk management.

 

Many thanks.

It sounds like you installed windows on your SSD without unplugging your hard drive?

I think that I installed windows on my previous system without unplugging the hard drive and then I reused it in my current system as it had all my games on it so the system reserved partition may be from my previous system. Would that be correct?

Possibly.

If you unplug your HDD does your PC still boot?

Because if not then you should definitely reinstall windows on the SSD with the hard drive unplugged.

Yep boots fine without HDD. Does that mean I can delete the partition on the HDD.

Yeah, you should be able to.

Might need to use disk management or some command line stuff to get rid of it..
