If the Recovery Partition is deleted or modified, you may not be able to restore Windows to the  factory status. For comp uter models on which WIMBoot is enabled, deleting the Recovery  
Partition may cause Windows to fail to start. 
How can I determine whether the Windows running on my computer is WIMBoot enabled?
WIMBoot technology is normally enabled on copies of Windows 10 Update running on SSD (or
