In my experience I would include the other partitions. When you are creating your System Image it is a clone of everything on the hard drive as of that date. It is best to clone every part of that hard drive at the same time. So when you have to use the restore image you have it exactly the same as it was instead of trying to remember which you saved and which you didn’t. Plus better safe than sorry.

My Lenovo has 7 separate factory partitions that I assume are used for recovery, boot and UEFI besides the Windows partition, when imaging is it safer to image them all or just the Windows partition.
