Thanks once again for your valuable inputs. I am done installing drivers and system is also updated to the latest possible version.

 

Just a quick question, When I installed Windows10, there were three partitions which got created: 1) MBR - 100MB 2) Recovery 450MB 3) SYSTEM Partition: Rest of the HDD. The partition was also in the same order. After successful installation, I created another partition out of system partition. So, System Partition (C) was 100GB and the D Partition was 365GB. 

 

But I happened to see now, that my C Partiton has reduced to 99.2 from 100GB. When ahead and looked at the partitions.

 

I see another partition listed as recovery (800MB) between C: & 😧

 

How did this happen? Did any of the drivers/Apps/Fixes, I installed from HP driver section create this extra partition? And what is it for? Is it necessary?
