    Congratulations, you're doing great.
    What version of win 10 you have, Home or pro?

    Let's create a new Recovery partition on the unallocated space
    diskpart
    Sel disk 0
    create par prim
    format quick FS=NTFS label=Recovery
    set id=de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac
    gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
    assign letter=R
    exit
    md R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
    Reagentc /setreimage /path R:\Recovery\WindowsRE
    (R not S)



    Next step is to extract WinRE from the Install.wim.

    I need to go to an appointment. Will be back in about 5 hours. You can wait for me or follow someone else instructions.

    Thanks Megahertz, really appreciate your help.

    I'm running Win 10 Home. The bits in disk part worked fine, but last two instructions didn't - first got no response and second an error? Happy to wait for next instructions whenever you're able!

    you made the folder on R then pointed reagentc at the non existant folder on S

    I think that was a mistype by @Megahertz

    The right command
    C:\Windows\System32\Reagentc /setreimage /path R:\Recovery\WindowsRE /target C:\Windows

    but it doesn't work as long there is no WinRE.wim in the directory

    you have to extrakt the WinRE.wim from the ISO first.

    Thanks both - I did wonder if that was a typo but didn't want to assume! Has error I think as Pentagon was predicting:

    But if you want to upgrade to WIN11 it's not needed, because it will be replaced by a WIN 11 WinRE.wim.

    Ah! Yes, the whole point of this process is to enable UEFI so I can get to WIN11 - will the automatic upgrade (leaving all files in place) sort the RE issue?

    Run it as Inplacement. It's safer! Disable Network, then it's faster!

    Mount WIN11 ISO and let it run.

    Thanks - I will take a look at that!

    - - - Updated - - -

    Ok, so I'm going to put an ISO on a USB, mount it and install from there (let me know if that's not right).

    PC Health Check app confirms machine is ready for W11, but windows update says I'm not - this might be because windows update hasn't synced since I changed the BIOS to UEFI, or it might be due to the failed update below - but I believe this update is for Win RE, which we know I don't have, so assume I can ignore this and get on with installing Win11?
