Deleting one drive's partitions with Windows on it when I have a second Windows on another partition - how can I know where boot manager or MBR is stored so the second Windows will still boot?

HI. I would like to ask for help. I want to delete a drive - Drive 2, to install a new second Windows on it. I have another Windows on drive 0. I would like to delete the drive as it has so many small partitions on it from previous Windows installation, and Windows refuses to install on it.Will it still boot up? How can I know where boot sector or MBR is stored, and if needed to move it to Drive 0, so the second partition will still boot? Dual Boot Manager says that the bootmgr is on partition Z, though I dont see a Z partition anywhere in my Windows Disk Manager. Here is the map for boot manager and the windows on C drive (Drive 0)
