Quite a lot of people are constantly faced with the fact that they cannot create a hidden partition on their hard drive. It is necessary so that you can restore Windows without any problems. The process of recovering Windows from a hidden partition is pretty simple. However, not everyone can recover a hidden partition.

If the laptop has other hidden partitions, then this recovery partition will differ from them in greater capacity.
Step 3
The laptop manufacturer takes an image of the operating system disk and places it in a hidden partition. To restore Windows along with the drivers and programs at the time of purchase of the laptop, you need to press a certain key or key combination before loading Windows. After the corresponding keys are pressed, the recovery process should start. This is convenient because the whole process takes a minimum amount of time. Installing Windows from an installation disc or from a USB flash drive takes much longer. In addition to restoring Windows, it will also restore drivers, utilities and programs.
