Hello mate.
Since the whole system is still very new and the partition is very helpful in other ways, see the info below I've written for a tutorial I'm working on; you may care to add the SysResv using diskpart, do the clean all as usual then do the creates using the out-line in the Step Two #3 snip I added to this tutorial.

SSD / HDD : Optimize for Windows Reinstallation
Information
- It adds a link to the WinRe (Windows Recovery Environment) that is seen when the advanced boot options are accessed through the use of the F8 hot-key during system startup that can be used to recover from startup errors if a Windows installation / recovery disk is not available for use.
- The partition is an asset for the use of Windows Backup and Restore to function correctly, we're now seeing issues if not enough space is available for WB & R to use and creating a larger (than the default 100MB) SysResv partition may solve these issues.
- It is used by Windows 7 BitLocker to store encryption information and will be created by the BitLocker program if it does not exist.
- It creates a single location for the Windows BCD store that the system boot files are kept in, in a dual / multi boot situation and makes removing one of the installed Windows Operating Systems (OS) (in a dual boot) very easy to accomplish if the need arises.
