    Hello,

    I have a Vaio Flip 13 and wanted to install Linux (Manjaro KDE), but after seeing all those partitions, I'm not quite sure which one I need if I still want to use my "assist button".
    Would be the "recovery" and "sonysys" enough? Or do I need all of the small NTFS and FAT32 partitions?

    sda9 should be my current manjaro system, sda5 my Windows partition.
    I dont want to keep windows, only the recovery (if smt went bad, want to recover to win, and want to use assist button).

    I'm not sure what to tell you other than to use macrium reflect free and back up your entire drive before you screw anything up. :)
