    Multiple Large Recovery Partitions

    Hello,

    What was the original OS installed to your device prior to Windows 10? For new installations, Windows Setup create a system partition. One of the recovery partitions you're seeing may be the first one that was created for the previous OS that you had installed
    prior to Windows 10. Removing these partitions will clean everything up. If you want to remove these partitions, we recommend doing a clean installation of Windows 10 to be able to create a fresh recovery partition. Of course, please do a back up of your files
    to avoid loss of data when doing this. You can follow this Wiki Article by Greg Carmack's
    for a step-by-step instructions on how to backup and repair, and do a clean installation of Windows 10.

    Let us know how it goes.

    In #2 I suggested you see this:

    - which indicates helpful log files, e.g. setuperr.log, setupact.log

    from this:
    Upgrade to Windows 10 Installation Upgrade Tutorials

    And Minitool Partition Wizard -not Disk Management- will show all partitions, as I've mentioned.
