Thank you for that hint, but the article is for Windows 8.1 and in many ways does not work for Windows 10 and I cannot recover anything, without the recovery partition. Thank you anyway for the input. If anyone has instructions how to recover the recovery partition in WINDOWS 10. I would be very interested.

I guess you can try creating a backup image of your os drive. Recovery drive should not interfere with the conversion though. Recovery partition is only for recovery in case your boot drive is corrupted.
