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?

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

    One very simple question:

    Did you buy this laptop with NO Operating System on it?

    Repeating it again, contact Acer. Microsoft doesn't make for them. Microsoft just supplies the OS, which didn't came preinstalled with your device.
