Hide system reserved partition in Windows 10

When Windows 10 is installed, a partition between 500 MB to 600 MB will be created automatically, which is reserved for system tasks, this is a Windows 10 reserved partition where components of the operating system are installed to perform administrative tasks or of support. This partition will be visible, but for safety we recommend hiding this unit from the view of other users since if it remains there it can be vulnerable to inappropriate tasks on it..

 

When we perform a clean installation of our Operating System, a partition will be created under the name " Reserved for the system ". Normally, this partition does not have a letter assigned and it must be managed from the Disk Administrator. As it contains system elements, we can choose to hide Windows 10 partition and avoid problems with this Windows 10 partition.
