I had to clone my hard drive from a bigger one to a smaller one and in the process I lost the recovery partition that was at the end of the hard drive. It was a 500MB partition. I'm running the latest version of Windows 10. Is it possible to restore that partition?

  • [This](https://superuser.com/questions/802845/restore-deleted-windows-8-1-recovery-partition?rq=1) is a 90% solution. The only difference is that you need to use the Windows 10 SDK instead of the Windows 8 Evaluation Kit. – Ramhound Aug 03 '21 at 19:10
  • You can live without the recovery partition. You can use the Windows 10 download to reinstall Windows and then update any drivers it did not update. – John Aug 03 '21 at 19:46
  • If you can still access the old drive, try to resize the big one smaller before the clone so it might fit. Thats what I would *try* .. :| What @John says is true but I too like having the recovery partition. – Señor CMasMas Aug 03 '21 at 20:50
