Figured it out. I opened up the MiniTool disk wizard and low and behold the labeling was different for both of the recovery partitions. The 600 was labeled NTSF and the 800 was labeled Recovery. So deleted the 600 and then expanded the drive all the way over for Windows and now my setup is as...
So a bit confused. The Power shell input gave me some gobbletygook that I don't understand.

Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE) and system reset configuration

Thanks folks. I'll get to it tomorrow.
@idgat Thanks but all the heavy lifting has been done already. I don't mind the piecemeal approach. Different ideas made me think about which was going to work best for me. Macrium worked just fine but now I just need to follow the advice above to...
So got it done. All seems well except that I now have TWO recovery partitions and one unallocated partition that I'd love to have my C drive occupy. The only thing I can think of is that the older recovery partition is the 600 and the newer one is 800. The 800 is the last partition and the...
Thanks folks. I got the F drive over to the new computer and it's showing. I guess I need to reassign the drive letter back to F since allot of my shortcuts that will come over with the Macrium "restore" file will have so much not finding stuff. My F and D drives are the most important as...
Even if I'm not using that computer at the time? I'll have it booted up but I won't be working on it. I don't think I have a USB stick large enough to put that many Gigs on it.
Yes, m.2, sorry, more things to remember! LOL
I wonder if the Reflect image backed those up within that file? Do you know if there is a way to view what all's in that file or no? The file is just 442 GB's so I'm assuming it's got all of the C drive within it.
I did that with my older computer, it had a 1 T ssd drive and so now use that as a backup drive. I'm curious of which driver set I want to back up, I'm assuming the new computer since the old one will be boxed and put away. I'm going to leave the OS ssd drive in it so I have a system that I...
So then install Reflect on the new computer and access the backup from there and it will install all from that file to my new computer?
Also programs like ZBrush (3D creation software) or Photoshop usually have to have the licenses removed from the old computer and reinstated to the new one so...
OK. SO the backup is done.
So then the next step would be to install this on the new system, hook up the F drive there and double click it and that just extracts everything to the new system??
Man, trying to get any help from Macrium if I don't have a license is proving to be quite annoying. So maybe you good folks have some answers for me.
Is there an upgrade option? I have an older version of Reflect from 2014 (Yea, I know).
On their sales page it gives me an option for 1...
