Windows 10: Why do i have multiple healthy recovery partitions ?

i checked disk management tool and found multiple healthy recovery partitions. Is this common or can i delete them and how?

:)

 

Need to delete an old healthy Recovery partition.

How do I delete an old 449MB healthy Recovery partition.

 

Windows 10 & Too many Recovery partitions

Disk Management displays:

• 300 MB Healthy (EFI System partition)
• 900 MB Healthy (Recovery partition)
• OS (C 184,97 GB Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash, Primary partition)
• 912 MB Healthy (Recovery partition)
• 450 MB Healthy (Recovery partition)
• DATA (D 258,15 GB Healthy (Primary partition)
• 20,01 GB Healthy (Recovery partition)

It concerns an ASUS N750JV laptop that came with Windows 8 Home pre-installed, then upgraded to Windows 8.1. and finally to Windows 10.

One could assume that each Windows version created its own Recovery partition, so that could explain 3 Recovery partitions.

Usually I change the name of partition C: from OS (or often LOCAL) to for example Win 10 pr 64-bit, especially with it concern a dual or multi-boot computer.

Recovery Partition Not Showing As "Healthy" in Computer Management

See attached screenshot.





Background - I replaced the original NVMe with a larger one, by cloning the original C: drive to the new NVMe. Everything appears to be working correctly - the system boots, etc. The usage of the Recovery Partition also appears correct. However, in the Disk Management view of the system, the Recovery Partition is not report as a "Healthy Recovery Partition" (it should be, in the same way the "Healthy EFI Partitions" are reported; and, in the lines above the graphical view, there is no line for Disk 1 partition 3.

I believe the partition was correctly cloned, but for some reason the system doesn't recognize it as a Recovery Partition. Is there a way to force the system to do so - e.g., using diskpart on the command line?
