recovery partition

A recovery partition is a dedicated section of a computer’s hard drive that contains files and tools needed to restore the system to its original factory settings. Think of it as a built-in backup copy of the operating system and pre-installed software. If your computer encounters major issues or becomes unstable, you can use this partition to reset the device without needing external disks or files. It helps quickly return the system to a working state, often without impacting personal files, making troubleshooting and repairs more convenient.
