“What does it mean that Windows 10 has 'it's own recovery partition'? When I install Windows 10 does it format a separate partition on my hard drive with a Windows 10 recovery software?”

Yes, it will reserve a tiny slice of the hard drive for the recovery partition.

It will first attempt to repair any damaged files, and if that fails, it will give you the option to re-install Windows 10. I'm not sure the recovery files would formally be considered a separate partition on your drive in the strictest sense, but it's at least sort of a "soft" partition. Keep in mind that recovery of Windows 10 is NOT the same thing as recovery of a backup image. You will get Windows 10 working again, but without an actual backup to restore from, you could potentially lose all your files, applications, photos and other data. Hope that helps!
