Hi, I'm mostly a Linux user, but I recently bought a laptop with Windows 8 on it. After a few days dual booting I decided it wasn't for me, so I decided to delete the windows partitions and usa just Linux. I would like, however, to keep the recovery partition, so to be able to easily reinstall Windows again if I felt like I needed to, but I'm not sure what partitions should I keep.
Here's a picture of my hard drive partitions as of now:

Do I need more than the restore partition? Can I get rid of the boot one? What about the recovery one? And the one flagged msftres?

Thanks for your help!
