W 8.1 Multiple recovery partitions

mrtom · 2014-09-23 00:09:22

Well, I'm courious about the multiple partitions I have. The Acer Aspire E1 571 avived with W 8 preinstalled. Went through the W8.1 update and the unit is patched up to date, all stable. I have multiple recovery partitions, what do they each signify? If I revert to factory install, do I get W 8 or W8.1?…

Your only recovery partion is the one that's 15.76GB. Should you do a factory re-install, you will get the original W8

BUT, within W8 and W8.1 there are options to refresh / reset. So if you do that now (you're on W8.1), you'll stay on W8.1
