    Everything looks normal for a system with 2 drives in it. You've got a 120 or 128 GB drive (probably SSD), and a 4 TB data drive.

    The recovery is an OEM one which if used will put back your pc how it left the factory when you bought it there isnt realy any need to remove it as there is a risk in messing with paritions

    Given the 500 MB size of the recovery partition, it is more than likely just the standard recovery partition created by a clean install of Windows 10. This is a clean install of Windows 10 Home in a virtual machine:
