    I mean it creates an EFI partition unless you have one, a recovery partition, and a… whatever the fuck an MSR partition is. It stands for Microsoft Reserved I believe, and should be 16 MB nowadays.

    And then there’s the one partition that your OS goes on, the C:\ partition.

      which is so much better and intuitive than Linux installer creating exactly one partition, right?

        I mean you still have a separate EFI partition under Linux. Personally I also have a separate /home partition which is heavily recommended in case you nuke your Linux either on purpose or accidentally. You may also want to create other partitions, like swap, though I just have a swapfile.

        Is the an installer that only creates only one partition, no EFI system partition?
