Running Win10 Home x64 on a system I built, but using a HDD from a
Lenovo that is out of use. I used the same OS installation- it found
and installed the drivers I needed for the new MB and CPU, and
everything runs like nothing was changed.
Opening Disk Management shows some extra partitions that I don't think
I need, but am not sure which ones to keep, and which to delete.
Here's a screen shot of DM:

If I right-click on any partition other than the Boot one, my only
option is "Help", which brings me to:

I'm willing to bet the OEM and the 30GB ones are from the Lenovo, but
how do I tell, and how do I get rid of them if they are?
Thanks!
I was able to use Mini Tool Partition Wizard to explore the contents of
the
recovery partion on my system drive.
Thanks, that's just what I needed!
The 500MB partition is labeled LRS_ESP, which seems to be the Lenovo EFI
System Partion, according to googling.
The 30GB one is labeled LENOVO_PART, and contains old files that I believe
would be to recover back to factory state using the OneKey boot-up, if it
was still in the Lenovo PC.
I think I'll blow both of them away, but not before I create a disk image
:-)
Thanks again for your help!
