    Is it ok if there is no system reserved partition but instead has EFI and recovery partition?


    I made a clean installation on my old Windows 10. During installation, I deleted every partition including system reserved partition. Will this cause any problem or am I in the clear?

    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.

    Recovery and EFI partition instead of System Reserved partition

    Hi Gid'-alert(1)-'

    If your disk was formatted with the GPT partition style, your system has UEFI and you will not have a System Reserved Partition, you will only have Recovery and EFI Partitions, this is correct . . .

    It is only if your drive war formatted to MBR, then Windows would have been loaded in Legacy BIOS and you would have the System Reserved Partition

    You have nothing to worry about, your system was indeed wiped before Windows was installed . . .

    Is it ok if there is no system reserved partition but instead has EFI and recovery partition?

    System Reserved Partition too small

    Yes, the first System partition with extra space is actually the Recovery partition. The EFI System partition is only 100mb, needs to be Extended to at least 200mb into the Recovery partition which has 589mg to spare.

    Look over this guide for how to use free Partition Wizard's Extend function to Extend EFI System into Recovery:

    http://partitionwizard.com/video-help/extend_pa...

    In order to do this you'll need to use it first to assign drive letters using Partition Wizard to Recovery and EFI System:

    https://www.partitionwizard.com/help/change-let... Apply step, OK.

    Then right click EFI System, choose Extend, borrow 200mb from Recovery, Apply step, OK.

    Let me know if any problems and I'll help you get around them.
