Product: HP ProBook 640 G2 Notebook PC


Hello Folks,
Have a hp probook 640 g2 (with i3) that came with a mechanical (spin) hard drive installed, and I am in the process of installing a nvme ssd drive. Oddly, at first, I found a second partition with only 16MB of the type "Reserved" whence listing the partitions with diskpart. I have heard of "System Reserved", but not "Reserved". Both the new and old drives are gpt, and the computer boots off an UEFI partition (first one) aptly named (type) "System". The third primary partition contains the Operating System, installed applications, etc.

It seems that one can not assign a driver letter (or otherwise mount) the "Reserved" partition via diskpart since it does not show on upon diskpart's command "list volume" (seems to be hidden). Would anyone know what is this "Reserved" partition for? And what type of filesystem is in it, if any?

Thanks!
