    Where is my recovery partition?


    I just reinstalled Windows 10 pro two days ago. Before that a "Recovery" partition was missing so I could not do a "Fresh Start" or "Reset my PC".

    Now I can not find that partition either! I think it's supposed that Windows 10 installation process should create it automatically!

    So here is a screenshot of "Disk Management" :

    And that's another screenshot of "reagentc /info":

    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)

    Lost recovery partition

    Hello, I see that you are having issues with recovery partition. I would suggest you using the diskpart command in the command prompt. First, open up the comand prompt as an administrator, then type in diskpart. Now, type in list disk, and look for the
    recovery partition drive. Follow the steps in the link below:
