The recovery partition after cloning SATA M.2 to NVMe M.2?

In short:

I cloned the original SATA M.2 SSD to a new NVMe M.2 SSD and everything (even Alt+F10) works well but I'd like to know why is now the recovery partition looking differently in Disk Manager (it doesn't have a description anymore).

More details:

I have Acer Predator Helios 300 (PH317-51) with GeForce 1050 Ti, 128 GB SATA M.2 SSD and 1 TB mechanical disk. I've now bought 1000 GB WD SN550 NVMe disk and used disk cloning tools (I tried a few of them) to backup the whole SSD disk into the file on a secondary hard disk and after installing the new SSD instead of an old one I restored the image.

Although all 3 partitions from the original SSD (EFI, c: and recovery partition) were restored correctly and everything works well - the recovery partition is now not anymore listed as "Recovery partition" (but it is not unallocated space either).

Here are the screenshots of the Disk Manager before and after cloning the disk. As can be seen I still didn't expand the c: partition to its maximum size, that is the situation immediately after restoring the image.

PS

I am almost sure this question will not have an answer.

chupo_cro that all depends on the software you used to clone it as the recovery its a hidden partition some software removed the name/description from it for ex you wouldnt have any issues if you had used easeus parition master i have done tons of cloning and never had a single issue you can also use it to change the partition name if you like but i wouldnt worry if its working fine ignore it youre fine just create another partition with the 812gb unallocated if you havent already and enjoy

I think the problem is not just a name of the partition because the partition is after cloning not listed as volume. According to this thread the difference could be in GPT attributes.

I will move the recovery partition to the end and expand the c: partition instead creating another partition on the disk. One of the reasons why I've bought the new SSD was to have larger c: partition because some software must be on c: or is hard to move to another drive (for example Visual Studio). And since I have many programs installed on d: (which is a mechanical disk) it would be unusual to have c: and e: partitions on the primary disk and d: partition on the secondary disk. I think MiniTool Partition Wizard can move the recovery partition to the end and consolidate the unallocated space with the c: partition.
