Question 3 Recovery Partitions, using the oldest one

[JonNem]

Hello.
I've tried fixing this myself best I could googling for solutions and looking here but I run into issues whatever I try. On my disk are five partitions, three Recovery Partitions, one EFI System Partition, and my C drive. I understand Windows creates additional Recovery Partitions when the currently used one is too small. From the solutions I've followed so far it *seems* that the one in use is the first one that was created, the smallest one. But I'm not entirely clear on that.
I've tried following advice on deleting the additional ones but got an error. I also read I wouldn't be able to extend the currently used Recovery Partition anyway because apparently that is not possible when it's located before the C drive.

So how can I create just one larger Recovery Partition and delete the redundant ones? I'm currently also unable to install additional Windows updates due to the Recovery Partition being too small and was advised to extend it.

Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

I'd ask you to backup any and/or all mission critical data and then recreate your bootable USB installer, then format and reinstall your OS. Start fresh and then carry on with your daily computing instead of having to dip your hands into the atter multiple times, troubleshooting.

Use Windows Media Creation Tools to recreate your bootable installer and be sure to install the OS in offline then manually install all drivers in an elevated command, then connect to the internet and update the OS.
