Hi!
I checked and I have 5 or 6 hidden partitions on my Win8 OEM laptop that are all named "Recovery Partition" and range from a few MBs to a few GBs.
I want to reset my computer (remove all programs and reinstall windows) because it became too slow and a bunch of apps just don't work after Win 8.1 update. Since I don't have any install media I want to be sure that it won't get stuck half way after deleting Windows and request an install disc or something.
So my question is: If I have recovery partitions on the hard drive, will the Reset option work without having to insert any external media? Will it delete everything and reinstall itself just using whatever is on these recovery partitions?
