I got an SSD for X-mas and set up windows on it all updates, I just formated my old main hard drive so that windows is not on it and its a clean, empty disk, however it has two (albeit 450mb) recovery partitions and a system reserved 350mb partition, why are they there when there is no windows on it?

 

Also I am thinking of splitting the Primary partition into an ssd backup partition and a primary storage partition, is that advisable or not?

 

 

My PC:

Spoiler

MOBO: MSI B450 Tomahawk Max, CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600, Cooler: BeQuiet! Dark Rock 3, GPU: Gigabyte GTX 1050ti D5 4G, Ram: 16GB (2x8) HyperX Fury DDR4, Case: NZXT S340, Psu: Be Quiet! Pure Power 11 600W , HDD's: WD 1TB Caviar Blue, WD 256GB Scorpio Blue, WD 2TB Caviar Blue  SSD: Sandisk SSD PLUS 240Gb
