In this post I will consider two different ways to delete and recreate the recovery partition for EFI and BIOS computers.

For some reason the recovery partition is located after the main partition (C:) and does not allow to expand the primary volume by using the unallocated space. And the unallocated space appeared after the second recovery partition (labeled as Windows RE). When I opened the Disk Management console (diskmgmt.msc), I noticed that there were two recovery partitions on the drive.


I increased the disk size in the virtual machine settings and switched to the guest OS (Windows 10) to extend the size of the system partition using the unallocated space. Once I saw that one of my test virtual machines was running out of free space on system drive C.
