Recovery Partition on second drive

I upgraded my laptop with an M.2 SSD a few days ago, and after a few days running with just the new SSD installed, I am confident that everything was cloned properly so I think I am ready to pop the HDD back in, wipe it and start using it for storage. But I was wondering if I can partition it so I can have a recovery partition on it as well as a storage partition, is that  possible??? If so how do I do it???

You can partition the HDD however you'd like through Disk Manager:

  • Open up the Start Menu
  • Type in "Administrative Tools"
  • Open Administrative Tools
  • Open "Computer Management" (as an admin if necessary)
  • Go to Storage -> Disk Management
  • Find your HDD and format it however you want.

I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted
