Is it worth deleting recovery partitions on a laptop?
Bought a laptop with Windows 8.1. There is only one volume on the HDD. Updated to Windows 10, the license was activated during the transition. I want to perform a clean install of Windows 10 and split the disk into 2 volumes. But the disk has 6 partitions. Should I leave them if I use Windows 10 in the future, and there, as I understand it, everything is from the eight? And can there be any problems if they are removed?

I would leave the recovery partition, especially since it should not take up much space. But delete the rest of the partitions so that the installer of dozens, re-partitions all the free space.
The license is tied to the motherboard and Microsoft account. You can even change the hard drive at all - this will not affect the license.
In extreme cases, Mikey's phone support solves such problems (if any) in just 5 minutes.
I personally checked it on my laptop two months ago - I changed the hard drive to an SSD.
