I have never seen a System Reserved Partition with Windows 7. However I always create my disk partitions first, then install windows. As the link explains, if you want to avoid the SRP this is a simple solution.

Read this to know your way around this topic:
https://www.howtogeek.com/192772/what-is-the-system-reserved-partition-and-can-you-delete-it/


And I know you may still need to image the System Reserved partition as
well (which is about 100 M. in size, as the first partition), if there
is one.  I have computers that have this, and ones that don't.
Not entirely sure how that came about.  I never quite learned (or
remembered) how to avoid making one of these when installing Windows.
That's the way I would prefer it -- not having that extra partition to
deal with.  But once it's there, I guess you are just stuck with it.

Yes, you'd better leave it as is. At least do not manipulate these
things without a good utility like EasyBCD (http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/).
