    @bartjunited - sorry for the late reply, got tied up this morning.

    The size does not appear to be outlandish, but as mentioned, the compression is a bit low based on what I'm used to seeing. 30% or so looks low. When you get a moment, could you post a screenshot of the Macrium definition, this part. Go into EDIT of the definition and scroll down to where the partitions are checked-off. Take a pic and post, please. Looks similar to this:

    Compression can vary a lot e.g. if lots of videos, compression will be lower.

    I made a post earlier showing I only got 40% with high, even with no heavily compressed files.

    I notice your Recovery partition is over 11 gigs and nearly full.

    Mine is only 450 MB.

    Not sure why yours is that much larger and wonder if it is not subject to compression?

    To be honest I don't even know what it is as I have never used it. I only ever use an image that I have created to restore Windows.

    Can I format it?

    Don't format it, but try to find out what that 11 GB consists of.

    Toshiba stuff?

    Silly question how can I find out what's in it as I can't see it in windows?
    Only see it if I go into disk manager?

    I strongly suspect it's mostly proprietary Toshiba stuff put there at the factory to enable you to restore to factory specs if and when you need to.

    However, a garden variety Win 10 install does have a "recovery" partition.

    Might you some day want to return to factory specs? If so, you should keep the whole 11 GB.

    Even if you don't care about returning, I wouldn't delete the partition outright because Win 10 does have a smallish recovery partition.

    It may be that you can delete that 11 GB partition and reconstruct a smaller Win 10 recovery partition that doesn't have the Toshiba stuff. But that's something I've never needed to do as I build my own PCs and so don't have a "recovery to factory specs" need.

    Got your Toshiba manuals or can you download one?

    I have no need to return to recovery specs.
    I've just built this laptop from fresh new install

    You did a clean install of Windows 10, deleting all partitions and ended up with a Recovery partition containing nearly 12 GB of something?

    I didnt delete all the partitions as I don't know what the other partitions about from my data partition are. Therefore just formatted c and did a clean install
