    Thanks again for your response. Should a drive letter (like E: ) be assigned to the System Reserved Partition, or doesn't it really matter?
    No, a system reserve partition should never be lettered, that way nothing can be accidentally written to it.

    Thank you, AddRAM and Layback Bear, for helping me better understand how Windows partitions work. I'm confident I can get things squared away the way I want. I'll report back after I finish the Windows 10 Upgrade within the next week or so. I'll leave the thread open until then.
