Chapter 3. Recovery system
I uninstalled a preinstalled software, but there is no significant increase in the free drive space.
The copy of Windows running on your computer may be WIMBoot-enabled. For computers
with WIMBoot-enabled Windows, the majority of files needed for preinstalled software are
installed on the Recovery Partition and won’t be deleted through normal uninstallation.
What happens if I attempt to delete or modify the Recovery Partition?
Attention:
• Do not delete or modify the Recovery Partition on a WIMBoot-enabled computer.
If the Recovery Partition is deleted or modified, you may not be able to restore Windows to the
factory status. For computer models on which WIMBoot is enabled, deleting the Recovery
Partition may cause Windows to fail to start.
How can I determine whether the Windows running on my computer is WIMBoot enabled?
WIMBoot technology is normally enabled on copies of Windows 10 Update running on SSD
(or eMMC) -only computer models. To check your computer,
