Would that be the so-called EFI partition? With UEFI booting, I'm

There are a bunch of things windows puts there:

I was thinking about the "system" partition:

System Partitions
You can use system partitions to:
Manage and load other partitions. If there are multiple operating
systems, for example, Windows 7 and Windows Vista®, the computer
displays a list of operating systems. The user can then select which
operating system to use.
Use security tools, such as Windows® BitLocker® Drive Encryption.
Use recovery tools, such as Windows Recovery Environment (Windows RE).
In Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, system partitions do not appear
in the list of available drives, although they can appear in tools such
as Computer Management.
System Partition Requirements
Basic system partition requirements are:
Must have at least 100 megabytes (MB) of hard drive space.
Must have enough free space to create shadow copies of the partition.
If the partition is less than 500 MB, it must have at least 50
MB of free space.
If the partition is 500 MB or larger, it must have at least 320
MB of free space.
If the partition is larger than 1 gigabyte (GB), we recommend
that it should have at least 1 GB free.
Must not be an encrypted partition.
Must be configured as the active partition.
BIOS/MBR: May be formatted as either FAT32 or NTFS.
UEFI/GPT: Must be formatted as FAT32 .
