Recovery partition?

[NikitaSch]

I just wanted to make my extend my c drive and i deleted the recovery partition.Is recovery partition something very important because i have never used it.Do i need it or not? Im on laptop btw.

It's for if you need/want to do a factory reset. It's safe to delete to my knowledge, but if you want to keep it you can also just try to move it elsewhere on the drive: https://superuser.com/questions/1354574/how-to-expand-the-windows-partition-when-the-recovery-one-is-in-the-way

 

[Edit] missed the "I deleted" part. Well it's all good, but for next time you know it can be moved

No.

The recovery is only for when your Windows doesnt work anymore. So you can reset to factory settings.
If you know howto install Windows from USB its just a waste of space.

Thank you so much , and @tikker as well. I was worried that I had to reinstall windows and lose all my data.
