SSD Recovery Partition

[Twoddle]

According to Disk Management I have 3 partitions on the SSD:

• 499 MB Healthy (Recovery Partition)
• 99 MB Healthy (EFI System Partition)
• 232.29 GB NTFS Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Basic Data Partition)

What's actually on the recovery partition? Is a full copy of up-to-date Windows 10? Or does it date back to when I originally installed Windows so any recovery would require me to run 2 years worth of updates on top? Or is it something else?

Seems unlikely I could do a full reinstall from it since Windows 10 is what, a 4½ Gig ISO?

It's just Windows RE.

Full recovery, that is used to perform full reset to factory on notebooks, would be around 16-20Gb.

EFI is FAT32 partition for UEFI loader, because UEFI supports FAT32 partitions only.

Ahaa that's how it works. That's cleared a few things up, thanks.
