    @Word Man and @CountMike
    @Kyhi gave the correct answer. When you install Windows, MBR style with a single partition, Windows will put the WinRE under C:\Recovery instead of in System Reserved partition.

    Understood and that's why I said "you may or may not have the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) on that single partition, depending how you arranged it".

    So, without information to the contrary, are you saying there is no way OP could have arranged the disk with a single partition and NOT had WinRE in that partition?

    Granted, if OP used installer to get that way, which they implied, WinRE would no doubt be on that single partition.
