I recently got myself a new laptop, with preinstalled  an official licensed Windows 10 and I have it all set up, installed all my programs and imported all my files and it runs very well.

However....  something is bugging me, besides the 1 TB HDD it has a small 24GB SSD which seems too be non active. 

 

It's not showing in "this PC"

 

In disk management or computer management it does show as disk 1 but has no file system (NFTS) or letter assigned to it as all other active drives have

 

When I right click on it, all options are grayed out expect help and delete volume ( what I do not want to do)

The only option I have is when the cursor is on disk 1 > right click option: convert to dynamic disk or look at the properties :

As partition style it is named Master Boot Record (MBR) 

Does that mean it is reserved for the OS?boot up?? it has 100% free space.

 

Hopefully someone can shine some light and clarify as so far didn't found a answer.

 

Thanks in advance

It's used as extra 'RAM' (sort of) to help speed the laptop up. It can't be used as normal storage, so just leave it alone.

Thanks, I will leave it alone, got plenty of storage so that's not an issue, I was just curious what that SSD is doing.
