I'm actually pretty well versed in Windows and other operating systems. I'm still wondering if the recovery partition of the manufacturer (in my case, HP) is useless if I format the SSD and Windows 10 reset.
My HP notebook has a 256 GB SSD on which only Windows 10 is installed. The recovery partition, however, is located on the 1TB large HDD. I have after purchase as requested by the manufacturer to create a USB flash drive for recovery. Is it enough and can I safely rebuild Windows 10?
Since I myself have never used the recovery partitions of the manufacturer, I'm just not sure if it has negative consequences and thus lost the restoration of factory settings. Would be good if someone is planning to tell me more.
Technical information:
17 "HP ENVY Series Notebook (17-r108ng)
256GB SSD (Windows 10), 1TB HDD (Data, Recovery)
Last but not least: Of course, I've already done my own research. If I believe the video from HP, if necessary, the recovery media of my notebook could also download free. Right?
Back up data Format hard disk completely.
But you have to be careful that he does everything on the SSD.

With the Windows installation itself have no problems. All relevant data are on my NAS anyway and have parked in case of cases as a backup on an external HDD.
However, I did not know if formatting the SSD would somehow affect HP's own recovery partition. Even if the data are long outdated, this would like to keep as a precaution (will).
Especially since I upgraded Windows 10 Home to Pro. What has ever caused problems for Asus. Therefore, I wanted to make sure in advance again, as it looks with the manufacturer's recovery.
For all interested users a short feedback:
The installation of Windows 10 was done in less than 10 minutes. After a few drivers nachgeschubst and the HP support assistant did the rest. Finally, via the Microsoft Store Windows 10 Pro enabled and after a restart then the additional features (including Sandbox) were available.
My HP notebook from the ENVY series is now almost 3 years old and still running like the first day. In terms of software, it will cost me a few minutes now. The fresh Windows installation was still worthwhile. Unnecessary file oaks on the Nirvana.
If you want to be sure, then you should stake out the HDD in the calculator and then rebuild WIN10 on the SSD.
The newly added WIN10 should then have its own recovery stick and its own recovery partition.
Canceling the old recovery partitions of the manufacturer makes no sense anymore.

Since the HP ENVY notebook has a closed aluminum body without service flap, do not completely unscrew just to temporarily expand the HDD.

I know that Windows 10 is creating a partition for recovery. However, I have explicitly asked for the manufacturer's recovery.

Since I want to reset the notebook to the factory settings or to the factory settings of the manufacturer if necessary, do not delete this recovery partition. Even if you did not understand the question correctly, thank you for your help and a nice whit Monday.
