Formated System reserve partitions 300mb & 500mb during reinstall, trying to restore their use in OS

[Jonaze]

I used my notebook predominantly for rendering and gaming, upon persistent lagging issues on windows 10, I sort to install windows 7. In doing so, i inadvertently formatted  the system reserve partition into unallocated space forcing the new installation to fork 100mb from C drive. Everything works but not as efficiently as before. I accessed the unallocated space from computer management in administrative tools and the drives are healthy. How can i restore these partitions back to system reserve for improved performance ?

The system reserve partition does not add to system performance.The System Reserved Partition holds the Boot Configuration Database, Boot Manager Code, Windows Recovery Environment and reserves space for the startup files which may be required by BitLocker.

You should have actually deleted all partitions and created one to install Windows 7. Then it would have only created the 100mb partition. The 300mb partition was created by Windows 10.

Thanks for such a prompt response. Much of my concerns have been answered but I am unclear whether or not other errors might result if Windows Created a new system reserve while the other system partitions refused to merge into a single C drive during graphical formatting even as unallocated space.

I don't believe any errors will be caused by the extra system reserved partition. I am unclear about the remark it refused to merge? During Windows installation you should have chosen to delete all partitions. The Guide in the link shows you at Step 10 how to that-clicking on Drive Options(Advanced).

Refused to merge as in, and I deleted all partitions and it formed three separate chunks of unallocated space: 300mb, 500mb, and 500gb that coalesced from a system drive and a shrunk partition. However, being as that it has no impact on system performance and a new reserve was created from the 500gb C drive pool, I will delete them and have them remain as unallocated space.
