Hello All,
I have 2 computers: a custom build PC with MSI uATX motherboard and an ASUS N550JK laptop. Both of these computers have the same exact hard drive, a Samsung 840 Pro 256 GB SSD.
Last night I installed fresh versions of Windows 8.1 Pro on both machines. During setup I deleted all prior partitions and then proceeded with the install (skipping the option to create a new partition prior to proceeding and just letting Windows do it during the install).
I looked at the partitions for both computers and for some reason the PC has 2 partitions: System Reserved and
OS. My laptop has 3: Recovery, EFI, and OS.
Can someone please tell me why the partitions differ? Does it have to do with the hardware? More specifically, is there something in the ASUS BIOS/firmware that stores a recovery image that Windows finds and uses?
Thank you,
Jan
