Disk Management Partition Help

G'day everyone, 

I've got a zephyrus gx701 and there are three partitions on the ssd.

Does anyone know what the 260MB partition might contain or would it be ok to just delete that partition?

Ah yes I remember this one. I still have to clean this SH1T up from time to time.

Up front, feel free to delete "RECOVERY," as it does absolutely NOTHING for anyone.

 

Be careful deleting that first one though, that's your bootloader. You can delete it, as long as you set the primary C:\ partition as active. But you'll have to run a fixboot/bootrec series of commands to restructure MBR to boot Windows the way it should.

 

Typically this should be prevented by manual manipulation during OS install, but no one seems to care. The only reason M$ ever did this in the first place was to allow their failed attempt of a bootable security program, BitLocker, to function.

Yeah rightio. Probably won't bother then as I'm not losing much space at all.
