Software creation hidden recovery partition for Windows 10
Santi Castro Olivares
Do you use any software to create a hidden partition from which a system recovery can be done (including Windows 10, applications and drivers)?
What software do you advise to perform this task?
Thank you

You should consider using the method and scripts Microsoft has created for this. The scripts can be found here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/desktop/windows-deployment-sample-scripts-sxs - basically, you can perform the installation and when you create the partitions, using Diskpart, use the answer file in the sample scripts. The Create-Partitions text files will partition the disk appropriately and set the recovery partition ID type correctly.
Full manufacturing guide start here: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/manufacture/ to get software to persist beyond an end user recovery is a little more complex, but not terribly difficult. I recommend testing (due to the complexity) without persisting applications before you add it, so you can ensure you are getting recovery working, then when you have it working, test using the ScanState (the tool used to persist applications beyond the recovery).

I have the following question:
with the Express Deployment Tool (EDT) application, do I get the same result as following the steps you indicated in the previous link?
Harold Mitts
Yes, but the new version of EDT requires that the Office Bridge version gets installed, which you wont have access to.
