yes, you will get a recovery partition - you will not get the windriver partition.
WINDRIVE Partition

Hello, after I bought a new laptop Acer Aspire 7 A715-75G I've installed Windows 10. On the installation menu partition manager told me that Windows will created additional partitions I clicked Ok and MSR 16 MB and WINDRIVER 8 GB partition were created. I wanted to test something and I've reinstalled Windows 10 on same laptop and I deleted all previous partitions. After that I clicked Ok when Windows asked me about additional partition that will be created and I was surprise that WINDRIVER wasn't there. Why this happened and how can I get it back that WINDRIVER partition on the list?

2021-03-20T21:51:29+00:00 Hello everyone, this time I hope someone will read my question and do not post offtopics if they don't know or read my question.
I've installed Windows 10 on my new Acer Aspire 7 A715-75 G, that comes with Efi Shell 2.7 preinstalled. After I booted from USB stick with Windows 10 and the installing process advance to the moment that I must create the partitions I've created NEW partition and Windows partition installer asked me if I'm ok that Windows will create additional partitions. I clicked OK and 4 partitions appeared on the screen :
Disk 0 Partition 1: UEFISHELL - 1 GB - system
Disk 0 Partition 2 - of 350 GB - primary
Disk 0 Partition 3: WINDRIVER - 4,1 - main
Disk 1 Section 1 - 16 MB MSR partition
Disk 1 Section 2 - 119,2 GB - primaryI reinstall the Windows 10 for whatever reason and when that partition windows popups in the new installing process, I've deleted all Windows partitions and I let only the UEFISHELL partition. So I see only UEFISHELL and 512 GB free unallocated space.
The problem is that I Windows 10 installer partition creator window after I click create new partition do not show to me the WINDRIVER partition anymore and It's only showing
UEFISHELL MSRand the other TWO PRIMARY.
Disk 0 Partition 2 - of 350 GB - primary
Disk 1 Section 1 - 16 MB MSR partition
Disk 1 Section 2 - 119,2 GB - primaryAnd I was thinking to remove the Windows Boot Manager from the BIOS to do a fresh Windows 10 install. How can I remove Windows Boot Manager from the BIOS?

2021-03-20T21:32:25+00:00 Fifth time I'm telling you once again.
I installed Windows 10 on my laptop. When I was creating the partitions on new fresh hard drive Windows asked me if I'm ok with creation of additional partitions. I clicked OK and MRS and WINDRIVE appeared along with the the C partition. After the installation I've decided to reinstall it and go through same process but this time I receive just MRS and the C partition without WINDRIVE. Why that happen and how can I get back WINDRIVE partition in the partition manager Windows 10 installer?
Those partition that you see them in the picture above I delete them because I want WINDOWS PARTITION CREATOR that I USE IN THE MOMENT OF THE WINDOWS INSTALL (I must bold for you to understand) TO SHOW in the PARTITION MENU CREATING WINDRIVE. Is NOT SHOWING ANYMORE in that WINDOW when you FIRST INSTALL THE WINDOWS 10.
