I was surprised to hear from my Dad, who was trying to make a recovery USB drive, that Windows 10 can apparently not only have more than one Recovery Partition, but that it can automatically expand a recovery partition backwards into space formerly occupied by the "C: drive" partition, without user intervention! I think there might also be another kind of partition that Windows uses, but I'm not really au fait with that. -- Next meeting: BEC, Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2020-01-07 20:00 Check to whom you are replying Meetings, mailing list, IRC, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread, don't hijack: mailto:dorset@mailman.lug.org.uk
