Explain the function of Win8 hidden partition

Many system users will always encounter the partition problem when installing Win8 system. For this "hidden partition", many people think that this partition is of no use, and many people think this partition Very important. So what is the function of this partition?

Can be installed to the first partition. However, with the popularity of the operating system of the NT kernel, Win2000 and XP were accepted by the public, the problem of partitioning gradually emerged, and after the expansion of the hard disk capacity, there was a problem of 137G. After that, I believe that few people Go to the Win9x system again.
