The EFI thing is for SSD's, I dunno what that 10GB one is but I have the 100MB EFI partition as well.

The 100MB one is a by-product of the installation but there are ways to remove it, if you pre-format and pre-partition your SSD before installing Windows then there's no 100MB partition, I wouldn't recommend removing it unless you follow a guide, the 10GB one i'm not sure why it's been created but if you need more space on your SSD then you can remove it I would imagine.- Please wait.
