System reserved on wrong drive

[Nicholas]

( i dont know pretty much anything about computers) I recently got a new ssd and wanted to boot using it so i used macrium reflect and copied everything over. originally i didnt copy over the system reserved or the recovery partition and once everything was copied over i tried to boot using it but it didnt work when i attempted to boot on the ssd it said to reboot and select proper boot device and i didnt know what to do so i gave up. i then tried coping over the system reserve and went to boot it worked but was still as slow as my old hdd i then saw that the windows was still on my old hdd and not on ssd so i had no clue what to do then tried to format the ssd to clear it it worked for everything except the resrved which now says system next to it as well as active. i started to look up how to put it back and somehow ended up making it dynamic which i have no clue what it means all i know is that when i removed the ssd to see if it would just put the files back on the hdd it didnt and just didnt boot windows. also when trying to fresh install windows before all this it said it was mbr and it wouldnt work it needed to be gpt wich i went through the process of doing and couldnt do it since the system reserved was on it

because the disk is now dynamic i cannot copy it over and with all apps i need to buy pro and i cant make the disk basic anymore with cmd because it requires to clean it but i cant since the system reserved is on it and blocks me from formatting cleaning or deleting the volume
