Hi, I'm trying to set up Windows 10 and it keeps making four partitions: recovery (450MB), system (100MB), reserved MSR (16MB), and primary (237GB). This is really frustrating because they keep appearing in My PC and it's just annoying. I was thinking about what I did on Windows 7—when it created extra partitions (like for BitLocker), I could delete the primary and move the reserved one, leaving just one partition. But now I can't do that. Do you have those four partitions too? What options do I have to remove them or is this unavoidable? Also, another question: did you run into issues activating Windows 10 with your Windows 7/8 key? When I switched to Windows 10 and checked the properties, it said Windows is activated, but during clean activation it won't accept the key—it's really confusing.
