Windows 10: How can i create a new recovery partition (accidentally deleted) for Windows 10?

I accidentally deleted the recovery partition (500mb) for Windows 10. My PC is custom built so it wasn't a OEM recovery partition in most laptops. Now, i'm freak out about the consequences in the long run. The weird thing is i was able to delete and format it in Window's Disk Management while a lot of posts on the internet say that it requires third party softwares to do such things. Does anybody knows how it can affect my system and is there anyway to create a new one without reinstalling from scratch???

How To: Create recovery partition.

it worked when i copied all the files of the disk to the recovery partition i created, but i had to use WinPE tab to add the entry.

Type: WIM Image (Ramdisk)
Name: Recovery
Path: Z:\Sources\boot.wim
and hit Add Entry
I tried it in VirtualBox and it worked.
At first, it would add a second "Windows 7" entry to the list, but when the installation is finished, the old one is deleted. (I formatted only C: partition)
