Windows has a habit of creating extra recovery partitions. You don't really need them if you have a Windows recovery disk to boot from.
I delete old recovery partitions as follows (backup your PC first!):
- Run reagentc / info from an admin command prompt. This tells you the location of the recovery partition.
- Use MiniTool Partition Wizard Free to peruse the contents of the recovery partition and confirm which is the current one from the file dates.
- Delete old recovery partitions at the end of the drive. I would leave old recovery partitions at the start of the drive alone in case you make your PC unbootable by moving the boot partitions.
- Move the wanted recovery partition to the end of the drive and extend the C: partition to use any spare space.
- Reboot and run reagentc /info to check the recovery settings. You might need to use reagentc /enable to reset it.
- Select Restart+ Shift key to check the recovery options are operational.
