Windows – What happens to the recovery partition from Dell after Windows 10 Upgrade

partition-recoverywindows 10windows 7windows-10-upgrade

I bought a Dell Studio XPS 8100 desktop back in 2010, which had Windows 7 installed and came with a partition for Dell Factory Restore.

After having installed Windows 10, what happened to that partition? Did the installation get rid of it? If not and I were to use it to do a Dell Factory Restore, would it "reinstall" Windows 7?

Sorry if this is a duplicate of a question somewhere, I didn't see one exactly like this asking about Windows 10 upgrade and Dell's Recovery partition.

Best Answer

The recovery partition will not be touched nor upgraded during this process. If you did a factory restore, you would end up with Windows 7.
