    So something seems up with my RB Windows 10 install - it's showing 2 "Recovery" partitions 500mb each, at the start and end of the disk. When I get a new laptop no matter what I brand I always clean install Windows 10 to start fresh - my question is: if I use Windows 10 "Recovery Drive" and put it on a USB, is there any need for these 2 partitions to exist or are they just taking up extra space?

    I’d keep that recovery partion, it’s for factory recovery by pressing F9 when I’m not wrong once you have windows issue or want to sell or return it and make it on factory default condition.
