  1. How to install Win10 when the Recovery & EFI partitions were deleted?


    I made the mistake of deleting the Recovery & EFI partitions (long stupid story).
    Now I cannot load windows to do a Reset, nor even just install from a live USB drive.
    This is an Acer desktop (Predator G3 710), about 4 years old.
    Would it help to boot from a live Linux USB to delete all partitions? Would the Windows 10 installer create the partitions it needs, or should I create them myself?
    I found this tutorial "Windows 10 clean install on a formatted (blank) hard drive". I just wished it wasn't as long *Sad

    Thanks guys!

    Move EFI partition

    its to enable win 10 to update to its anniversary edition.. it cant do this due to lack of C drive space i have had a quick try with the trial version of easus.. it didnt seem to be able to do what i want..

    i am assuming i cant just delete the efi partition but maybe i could.. as yet i havnt even figured out how to get into the bios of the thing.. maybe that should be my next step.. *Smile How to install Win10 when the Recovery & EFI partitions were deleted? :)

    diskpart could probably do it but figuring out how (it aint that user friendly) might be difficult without step by step instructions..

  3. Recovery and EFI partition instead of System Reserved partition

    I forced reinstalled my windows 10 after my boot got corrupted by deleting linux on dual boot.

    Now I used diskpart to wipe my SSD before I began installation. When the Win10 installation is finished. I noticed that I have Recovery and EFI Partitions on Disk management. I'm expecting System Reserved Partition because based on some forums, you can only
    get System Reserved Partition if you successfully clean installed the windows 10.

    so that I think I believed that I didn't clean install my Windows 10 because im getting Recovery and EFI partitions.

    Please help how to can i get only System Reserved Partition not Recovery and EFI.

    The Efi system partition deleting during clean install....

    hi,

    You are saying that i should not delete them (the EFI System partition) and just install windows to primary or main partition. Please tell me that i am correct in understanding this. If i am not, please give some easy step to do so.

    Also, If i delete all my partitions including EFI and then click next to install windows, can't that be recreated. The disk looks like this
