Partitioning trouble after upgrade, clean install and revert back
Hello
Recently upgraded to w10 from w8.1 via the upgrade option, then proceeded to make a USB boot with w10 and performed a clean install.
However, something is fishy with my system and w10 so for now i want to revert back to w8.1 via a clean install of w8.1
When i installed w10 however i noticed i have an abundance of partitions, and preferably i would only like to have my SSD and HDD as optional storages spaces. I do of course not want to delete any necessary recovery or system partitions, but to me it seems like i currently have too many.
Which of the partitions in the picture below can i delete?
is it safe to delete all the recovery partitions when clean installing w8.1 from usb? meaning that will the installation create the necessesary partitions required by windows?
hope someone can help me out.
see picture for info(gjenoppretting = recovery)
