I have an Acer Aspire E5-575G-53VG and I want to upgrade both drives. I believe when I upgraded the OS & Recovery partitions before they may have been transferred incorrectly. Shouldn't the Recovery partition be at the beginning/front of the drive/volume? I'd have to look again when I have my laptop but the Recovery partition is now somewhere in the middle. What I want to do is reinstall Windows fresh wiping everything back to factory. Should I do this before or after installing the new SSD and copying the hidden drive? I would like to have the hidden partition copied to the beginning of the new SSD and then do a factory reset from there.
Thoughts?
