AOMEI OneKey Recovery,
which it says creates a recovery partition (sort of like what
some manufacturers make) and iiuc you can update it periodically so it's
got all your data too!!
https://www.ubackup.com/onekey-recovery.html
Any opinions on this? The first 3 reviews I saw were good.
Not only is my desktop refurbished but I redid my laptop from scratch, because I was replacing a bad drive with an SSD. Would AOMEI Onekey-recovery put me in the good situation like an owner of a new
computer with a hidden recovery partition?

Two points.
1. It claims to be able to create an ex-factory partition. Without an
already existing partition or at least some data about what should be in
it, how could it do that?
2. Why not simply use a freely available clone-or-image maker such as
Macrium Reflect or Acronis?
Hold back your wallet. You don't need that program. Even if you have a >recovery partition but have lost the ability to restore from it, there
are other methods available.
Tell us your specific problem, and you'll get lots of help here.

It seems to be putting the recovery, on the SAME hard drive as C: .
I can't tell from the advert, whether it is more clever than
that, or not.
What happens if that hard drive fails entirely ???
"To prevent backup images from damage, the recovery partition is hidden by default."
Well, not Hidden Hidden. It's probably in a 0x27 instead of a 0x07.
It's like a snake oil salesman, discovering you can cook french fries
in Snake Oil. It's good for AOMEI (increased Snake Oil sales), but,
is it good for you ?
You will remember, when we used to get a Dell with a recovery partition,
we would be pestered to feed four DVD blanks into the machine, and
copy the recovery partition onto DVD. Then, if the hard drive failed
two years from then, you could use the four DVDs to reload the PC
when the replacement hard drive showed up. Recovery, was more than
an F-key press -- it also included media redundancy, just in case
of hard drive failure.
Depending on when you make updates to that partition, you could
be copying malware into it.

It bases it on what is in your working C: partition now.
2. Why not simply use a freely available clone-or-image maker such as
Macrium Reflect or Acronis?
It's big thing is that when the start-up files are ruined, all you have
to do is press F11 and it finds the recovery partition and starts up
your computer. This would be especially helpful when traveling with a laptop and I dont' have external drives with me.

I don't have a problem yet. I'm planning ahead, LOL. Two years ago I couldn't start my computer. I didn't want to wipe it and start over, so
I tried all sorts of repair software and procedures, and finally read a passing remark about F11 and I tried that and it started right up,
looking just like it had 2 months earlier. It was wonderully
convenient.
In this case the HP EliteDesk was really strange since maybe it had a recovery partition when new but it was refurbished by someone selling
via Amazon, and though it had an HDD and SDD, I used partition managers
and there was only one partition on each drive. No recovery partiton,
but somehow F11 worked anyhow.
