To ensure Windows installs on a single partition, you need to use a partitioning tool to create a single partition before initiating the Windows install. But I’ve found in my environment that having multiple image options has caused confusion, so it’s proven best to ensure I capture Windows on a single partition so those applying my images in their task sequences don’t accidentally select the wrong image option. …because you can simply specify which (partition) image option to apply within a task sequence’s apply operating system step just make sure it’s the one that actually contains Windows. Unintentionally capturing multiple partitions isn’t necessarily a bad thing... You can click through each image to identify which does include Windows. Images (partitions) that don’t have an OS version and architecture listed like the 1-1 pictured below are captured partitions that do not contain Windows. If you see more than one image option available (1-1, 2-2, 3-3, etc.) then you know multiple partitions have been captured. Once you’ve captured and imported a WIM into SCCM as an operating system image, access its Properties -> Images (tab). You can view how many partitions an existing SCCM OS image contains. WIMs have the ability to hold multiple partitions, and the SCCM capture procedures will grab all partitions including the above mentioned System Reserved if it exists. SCCM captures operating systems as WIM files. One of my work responsibilities is to create and capture SCCM OS images. Should you ever decide to encrypt your system with BitLocker after setting it up, you won’t have to repartition in order to make it possible. The main purpose of this partition is to reserve space for BitLocker Drive Encryption files. When installing a newer version of Windows on a clean disk with no existing partitions, a System Reserved partition is automatically created at the beginning of the disk.
