EFI Partition required or not required
Laptop OS got corrupt, could not boot. somehow recovered data. There are multiple partitions and 1 being Sony Boot partition.
I want to delete all partitions and have 3 partitions, 1 for OS and other 2 for Data.
64 bit system
4 GB RAM
Sony VAIO laptop
Windows 10 4 bit as OS
Question:
Do I have to Create EFI partition or it would be taken care of by Win 10 installation on its own?
If creating an EFI partition is a must or good practice I would do it but how is the next question
