Product: HP ZBook 15 Base Model Mobile Workstation
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Running very low on disk space. Ultimately would love to install a second HDD but in the meantime I want to check an unknown partition that I suspect to be my recovery partition but is there anyway to be sure.? I did attempt to access it via the HP recovery dashboard but it says recovery partition has been removed. I want to delete this partition but fear I might ruin my chances of future recovery. Can I create a new recovery /backup image? In disk management the option to delete this particular partition is available and NOT Greyed out. Also what is the easiest way to create a boot USB drive to install Windows should something happen to my laptop. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

In summation:  i would like to create a new backup, preferably stored on an external drive. What's the best way to achieve this. Along with a boot able recovery thumb drive. Suggestions welcome
