I just put a new blank SSD in a Dell laptop.
I guess OEM's stopped putting product keys on computers - to load windows 10 on it, I had to run the dell recovery software, which loaded Windows7 (with Dell's OEM settings). After that I ran an in place upgrade to Windows 10.
The problem is that there's a 14GB 'RECOVERY' partition that I can't remove - I think this is Dell's original recovery partition.
I plan on creating a system image before I load software on the PC, but I want to get rid of the ancillary recovery partition first so I don't waste space backing up the extra data.
