I upgraded to Windows 11 using the Upgrade Assistant tool on October 4 on a Dell Inspiron 3793.. Since then, I've been poking around here and there and everything seems to be working fine.
I use Macrium Reflect 8 to backup my computers. One thing that caught my eye was that Macrium had marked one of the partitions on my C:\ drive in red. At first I didn't pay it any mind, but yesterday I took a closer look at it. Instead of a 500 MB Recovery Partition, I've got a 1.01GB Recovery Partition. I double-checked this in Disk Management and using DiskPart in a Command Prompt.
I've got backups of the computer and have made a Recovery Drive and am considering just removing the partition altogether. I'm curious as to why it is so large as I had performed a clean install of Windows 10 about 6 months ago and eliminated the Dell Recovery Partition. I'm certain the Recovery Partition wasn't that large before upgrading to Windows 11. I've attached screenshots to show what I'm seeing. Or is this something that is part of Windows 11?
My apologies if this isn't posted in the correct thread.
