Confused about clean install partitions
Hi all,
The Clean install tutorial for USB UEFI booting mentions that 4 partitions are installed. Quoted below:
The 4 partitions are these below. It is critical that these 4 partitions remain in the exact order as they are
•Paritition 1 - Recovery
•Partition 2 - System - The EFI System partition that contains the NTLDR, HAL, Boot.txt, and other files that are needed to boot the system, such as drivers.
•Partition 3 - MSR - The Microsoft Reserved (MSR) partition that reserves space on each disk drive for subsequent use by operating system software.
•Partition 4 - Primary - Where Windows is to be installed to.
Why are 4 partitions necessary and does this mean I am going to have a C\, D\, E\ and F\ all on that one disc? Do I have to do it this way. As I have other SSD and HDD discs, don't really want multiple partitions. Is it better like this?
This is for my Desktop PC, not a laptop
