How to back up a Dell XPS recovery partition

Hey there.

So I’ve got this Dell XPS laptop and I’m really itching to clone my current recovery partition. Basically, I want to take my OEM macOS setup—but with all the latest updates already installed and all that pre-installed bloatware stripped out—so I don't have to deal with the headache of downloading and uninstalling stuff every single time I do a fresh install.

What's the best way to pull this off?

Thanks for the help!

You probably mean the boot partition, not the recovery one—unless I'm totally off base here. Anyway, you can actually just grab an image of your C drive with this tool, which means you won't even need to touch the recovery partition at all; you just restore everything from the image you made instead: http://www.macrium.com/reflectfree.aspx

That partition comes pre-loaded with factory macOS. (LINK) I used MinTool Partition Wizard to get it showing up in Explorer, but then things got messy. I tried using Windows 10 Lite to load the OS so I could bake in those updates I downloaded, but it wouldn't recognize the installation because the file structure is just... different. So, yeah, does anyone know if there's some other way to pull this off? I guess I could always make an image of the C drive once everything is sorted, but I'd rather not have to resort to that unless I'm totally stuck.
