SSD Questions on New Computer

Hi i asked him whether clean install or imaging/cloning is better and he said clean install.

OK. Someone else will have to explain why a clean install would have a recovery partition. Maybe it's normal for Windows 10. I have no idea.

Have you never installed W10 Ignatz ? I`m flabergasted

I just did a clean install of 10 (to unallocated space) on my Samsung 850 Evo, it made 3 partitions, a Recovery, an EFI and C

I'm confused what you mean here. What do you mean put the 1tb hard drive back in?

Because if it actually fit, (meaning if the laptop actually could accommodate 2 drives) as you said earlier, then you could be using it for storage.

But if you`re happy with how it is, then that`s good too. It would just add heat to the laptop.

Pauly this is s shot of Windows 10 Pro with the Anniversary Update.

To get this picture, type winver in the Run box.

Don't know why you'd be "flabergasted" that I've never installed Win 10.

I've never installed Win ME or Win 8 or Win 2000 or a Mac OS either. Unfortunately, I may some day install Win 10, but I'm trying to put that off as long as possible.

I was only kidding

This article explains a bit more on what a few others have already said. Personally, I would like to see a pic of the 32 GB drive, probly a tiny thing like the M.2

Oh My Lord Samsung has a 960 That didn`t take long. Maybe the 950 will come down in price.... Ya right

The 'Recovery' Partition is normal. I believe it usually houses the recovery environment.

Hi,
Indeed the anniversary update will create 450mb recovery because you have a short period of time you can roll out of it back to the previous build
Odd it is in front and not on the end of the ssd.

Possibly AddRam used older media
Should have used newer media with the newest build on it :)

100mb efi partition

This is a clean install of the AE done last weekend. There is nothing to roll back to.
