I have recently bought a laptop, which has a recovery/restore partition on the hdd. I replaced the hdd with a ssd and I would like to use the hdd as a storage drive in an external caddy.

My question is, can i keep the recovery partition intact and format the rest of the drive to use as storage. then in the future if i decide to sell the laptop can i reinstall the hdd and activate the recovery partition to restore the lappy to its original state?
