System Partition with 300MB

I used the backup and restored application from Windows 7 and created an image backup of my disk with...

Need help with dual boot issues please...
Did a clean install of Win 10 Pro recently...everything running good...but tried to setup dual boot with my trusty Win 7 Pro and am having definite performance issues when booting to 7.
I think it has something to do with the attached Computer management jpg...seems the 'system' thinks Win 7 is the main/primary OS/drive...not Win 10

Logical, Primary labels mean MBR?
I'm making some progress now with my new W7 install on MBR via a UEFI motherboard.
I have a question: After first deleting the original install partition with a program that has a GUI (don't remember its name) the Disk 1 partition showed as 'Logical'. After using the app to create a 'Primary' partition formatted in NTFS, it now shows that its type is Primary.
Does the presence of either...

clean desktop / wallpaper
I happen to like a clean desktop, not the general plethora of icons that install routines will pile up on you. After upgrading to Win 7 Home Premium, I seem stuck with Libraries and Homegroup as icons on the desktop. These two features are readily reached by other means than desktop icons (I have Classic Shell installed as well). How can I remove those two pesky icons? They do not appear in...

Win 7 Boot USB first detected, but not anymore?
I've just finished assembling my first computer, and tried installing windows 7 ultimate x64 on a blank samsung 256gb SSD from an 8gb usb stick, but I got an error on the second step at 1% saying "Windows cannot install required files". I pressed OK and restarted, I get a message saying there's nothing to boot from. Obviously, I made sure the USB was top priority as a boot device.
Any help...

How to Prevent Old OS Drive Issues on New Build?

How do I move the System Reserved Partition (drive E:) to a new drive?
My attempted upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 stopped with the message that my System Reserved Partition was too small. Sure enough, my research indicated that Windows 10 requires a larger petition. I used MiniTool to extend the partition and discovered that my System Reserved Partition, which Windows has assigned drive letter E:, was on a different drive than I thought. Attached is a snip...

Win7 to W10 and back
I disconnected all my HDD/SSD's and clean installed W10 on a fresh SSD. I did this mainly to ensure W10 and my hardware were compatible. I am now back on W7 from my original disks and working fine. QUESTION: Will MS be satisfied when I reinstall my W10 SSD at some time in the distant future and still maintain my "free" upgrade digital entitlement.

Dual boot screen even though I only have one OS installed
Hey! Today I did a clean win7 install some hours ago but I had to change some settings to disable UEFI boot on the bios or something similar I set the main boot thingy to DVD-RAM instead of DVD-RAM UEFI, so as to boot from the cd and create a master boot record.
Everything went fine and I don't know if this is related to what I just mentioned but when I boot up my PC I get to the dual boot...

I've had windows 7 64 on my system for the last 6 or 7 years? However long it's been out and it's been completely fine.

Boot error on startup
Greetings,
I am a first time PC builder. After assembling and installing Windows 7, occasionally I would have a boot error on start up, Windows wouldn't boot because of "recent hardware or software changes". The times it won't boot, my 250 gig ssd won't be appearing in bios. Other times, it would boot fine. I realised my SATA port of the SSD was 6. I changed it to port 1 which was working...
