This is not true. Future Windows 10 installs use the existing System Reserved partition if the disk is not wiped clean before the install.

Hi,
Nope not if the original is too small and yes they are always too small.

Ooops, I just noticed I misread your post. Your post #6 stated, "This is in the long run problematic because all these large builds like 1809/ 1903 and next up 1909 will create another 450mb+- system restore partition"

I misread that and was thinking System Reserved partition. Yes, you are quite right that Windows setup has, very annoyingly, created additional restore, as in Recovery, partitions. Completely different than the System Reserved partitions I was referring to!

Hi guys,

I recently switched from MBR to GPT (NMVe upgrade) and my disk looks like this:



All is good, my system boots etc., but I just tried to go into my advanced System Repair options - holding down the shift key and restarting, and my options look very limited? I'm comparing to the setting on my other Window 10 build. I don't have access to the Command Prompt etc.

Any ideas?

Sounds like your recovery environment is disabled. Run:
reagentc /info

it will probably return that recovery environment is disabled.
You can try to re-enable it using:
reagentc /enable

but it probably needs to be recreated.

Thanks! I've logged off now but will try in the morning.

Will it be possible to recreate do you think?

There are multiple methods to create a recovery partition.

Alternatively you can use a bootable MCT (Windows 10 iso).

Yes you can recreate it.
