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