Nokia 2520 not registered in my Microsoft account

Hi all, I have recently bought a Nokia 2520 which runs Windowr 8.1RT. I have logged in with my Microsoft account however when I look in my Microsoft account at devices it does not show up.

Could someone please help me register this product into my Microsoft account, also when you call for assistance with Microsoft they class the device as a mobile phone even though it runt RT and not windowsphone. Really Microsoft this device cannot make a
call or SMS from the sim so how can it be a windowsphone device?

I tried to look at the above file. however i don't have "Winre.wim" so i can't find the file.

Removing 'mystery' partitions after upgrade to Win 10


bobrcnut Finally got a semblance of an answer to those mystery partitions after an OTA upgrade to Windows 10, after two-days of online search. Thanks to both topgundcp and NavyLCDR, not to mention bobrcnut for starting the thread.


However, the last answer is a bit confusing for me, a basic user.


I have downloaded the MiniTool partition manager to find out what is really in those drives (Disk manager showed no less than three recovery partitions besides OEM, EFI system and C drive). MiniTool is showing one more partition of 128MB.


The contents are dated February of this year and June (when I bought the laptop). Only two of the hidden partitions -- WinReTools-750MB and the other 450MB partition show entries of 19 November, when I updated to Windows 10. The uber-mysterious 128MB does not even let me explore it.


The 7GB partition shows it has an image file and is called PBR image.


I want to get rid of only the 8.1-related drives and merge the space with my C drive and keep Windows 10-related partitions. My ultimate goal is to create a new drive for my files and stuff.


I have come across all these terms (PBR, WindowRe, install.wim) but I am terrified of doing away with crucial links if I depend on my second-hand knowledge only. Request you to please take a look and give me some guidance.
