[Harsh Pranami]

Hi friends. I was wondering if I could remove the factory installed recovery partition and make a new one with all the windows and drivers update. Is this possible?? If yes then please tell me the procedure.Thanks

You you can remove that partition, but then you may not be able to use some features such as included backup.

For deleting that partition:

> right click on "Computer" and click on "Manage".
> Select "Disk Management" from the left pane.
> Right click the partition you want to delete and click on"Delete Volume".
> Click on "Yes" to continue.

Above steps will create an unallocated space. to combine it with the neighbouring partitions, follow these steps:

> After completing the above steps, do not close the disk management window.
> Right click on the neighbour partition you want to expand and click on "Extend Volume".
> enter the size on extra space you want to add.
> Click continue.

You're done.

Removing the factory installed recovery partition won't be a problem. But is there any way I can make my own recovery partition with all the windows updates and drivers??

Not sure on that, but you can try a system image.
