    Sorry Pentagon I was waiting for a reply from you and failed to notice that it had opened a second page and the reply was on that. I have just copied the result.
    I am closing down now for the night but will look in tomorrow if you wouldn't mind replying in the mean time.

    Windows Boot Manager
    --------------------
    identifier {bootmgr}
    device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1
    path \EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT\BOOTMGFW.EFI
    description Windows Boot Manager
    locale en-GB
    inherit {globalsettings}
    default {current}
    resumeobject {c889dd2b-1e7b-11ee-9155-88ff85ed28ea}
    displayorder {current}
    toolsdisplayorder {memdiag}
    timeout 30

    Windows Boot Loader

    OK, your active EFI is on Disk 0 and your C-Partition is on Disk 1.
    To find out which Recovery you use type:
    Cmd (admin)
    C:\Windows\System32>reagentc /info
    and post the result

    COPY & PASTE each command step by step
    C:\Windows\System32>
    reagentc /disable

    diskpart
    sel disk 0
    sel par 4
    delete partition override
    sel par 3
    extend
    sel disk 1
    sel par 3
    delete partition overide
    sel par 2
    extend
    shrink minimum=1025
    create partition primary
    format quick fs=ntfs label="Recovery"
    set id="de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac"
    gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
    exit

    reagentc /enable


    You are ready and the Windows Update will not produce any error message

    The unused EFI-Partition on disk 1 can be treated later
    And see the change in Diskmanagement when you are ready.
    Drive Letters like C; D; E; can be changed here also
    Assign a Drive Letter to your last Partition (5) on Disk 1. Just RightClick on the Partition and you find it.
    Then run cmd command admin
    reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control /v FirmwareBootDevice
    reg query HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control /v SystemBootDevice

    Hi Pentagon,
    I did as you said, one at a time and waited for each response, (I have a copy) but it all looked ok till I did the last line

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>reagentc /enable

    I was met with
    REAGENTC.EXE: The Windows RE image was not found.

    I thought best not to continue to entering the REG queries.
    Have I missed something?

    can you post a new screenshot of your "Diskmanagement" to check the result

    I hope you didn't forget the first command (reagentc /disable)

    The 2 reg-commands are just to controll everything once more. They don't change anything.

    Type

    C:\Windows\System32>dir /a /s c:\Windows\System32\winre.wim

    to find the lost WinRE.wim

    I am trying to post a snipped shot of the disk management but it just ignores me when I click upload?
    It loads into my word processor program ok?

    - - - Updated - - -

    I have added it as an attachment?
    I did do /disable
    where did you get the set id="de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac" from?



    C:\WINDOWS\system32>dir /a /s c:\Windows\System32\winre.wim
    Volume in drive C has no label.
    Volume Serial Number is C4F0-C1A8
    File Not Found

    C:\WINDOWS\system32>

    Yes click on the one marked 'insert image' I get the insert image page, click 'from computer/choose file, the file appears in the box and when I click upload nothing happens?
    I did it a few times even with a smaller version of the screen ands altering the file toi a jpg from a png still nothing when I clicked upload?

    - - - Updated - - -

    there is no option for assign a letter for that partition the only two that are not greyed out are 'delete volume' and 'help'
