    Hello VAIO Experts

    i´m looking forward for some tipps for the following:

    Last week, i´ve recovered my SVS13 VAIO back to Windows 8 (stock). Then i´ve done the update to 8.1 and after that the direct upgrade to latest Windows 10 Version.

    There are a lot of partitions in this configuration but i´m not sure which of them i can delete savely to have all full functional (menu with assist key from power of, recovery menu, etc) so maybe someone here may help me to clearify what i can do?

    The screenshot is taken on a german language windows, i hope this is not a problem for you :)

    Thank you for your help!

    to keep running your system neither of the Recovery partitions (Wiederherstellungspartition) are needed.
    If you want to keep the option to recover, you need to find out which one partition is the one you want to keep. An option is to provide a drive letter to the recovery partitions to do further analysis.
    But do not in any case delete the EFI partition.

    Make a backup of the whole drive before reconfiguring.
    Everything your own risk.
