Which partitions to keep when cloning with Macrium

<< < (2/2)

Boggin:
I think it's just that program that is listing your 15.76GB Recovery partition as unallocated and that will be the partition that you would use to factory reset the machine.

When you have unallocated space, Disk Management would list it as such and in your case, it doesn't.

I'd just leave things as they are.

jpm:
Always back up all your partitions if possible.  I mean frankly, you do not NEED them, as long ad C: and D: are perfect - but they may not be. Plus, the manufacturer put those there for a reason.  You have to have the efi to boot.


As for merging -- I was surprised to see such a large partition but it seems it is necessary per the acer community. https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/546513/what-is-in-the-1gb-recovery-partition
