I have 1 CB hidden recovery partition in A114-32.
But it is 61% free - it has 380 MB.
I think it has only system tools to recovery Windows 10 , but not has all files of Windows 10.
Therefore no possible to reinstall Windows , only repair???

Did you purchase this system with factory installed Win10? Jack E/NJ

If you just purchased this system, you can check if the hidden partition is truly an ACER eRecovery partition, by the ALT+F10 cold boot recovery method as shown in the video below. There should be an option to re-set the machine and erase everything on the drive. This will re-install a full factory fresh version of Win10 back onto the HDD or SSD. Jack E/NJ

Yes, I have this.
When I bought it was Windows S 1709 , but there was 2 update - 1803 and 1809 and now is Windows 10 PRO 1809.
I dont need to recovery just now because Windows is working good.
I wonder how is possible recovery partition to be only 1GB - 61% freee - only 380 MB???
That is why I think in it there is only tools to recovery Win10, but not all of instala
tion filres of Win 10.

I also find that disk management is not always accurate especially with GPT partitions. But your ACER recovery partition seems to be a valid for completely re-installing a factory fresh Win10 version. Jack E/NJ

Perhaps Disk Cloning vs. Disk Imaging would help.
A crude analogy would be a 3 drawer file cabinet with 2 folders of paper documents. To transfer the paper documents, it is not necessary to build a new 3 drawer file cabinet with its empty spaces; just put the 2 folders into another file cabinet.0
