[ubuntu] Install Ubuntu in Windows pre installed laptop (confusing partitions ) topic






Hey Guys


I just bought a new lenovo laptop and it comes with windows. Before installing the Ubuntu, just had a check on the partitions and confused with the current partitions. In my old desktop, I used to install Windows first and then install the ubuntu with the freespace available. So ubuntu keeps the windows MBR along with the ubuntu. Here I can see some additional partitions named as EFI,OEM,Recovery etc. Some recovery partitions are showing as 100% free. Can you guys tell me whether I can remove those or safe things to do before removing them ? I can install ubuntu in the freespace available but really frustrated to see those. I would have removed the windows OS unless I paid for it with the laptop.(Here in India most of the laptops comes with windows pre installed) I have attached the screenshots for better understanding.
