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.

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.
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!

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?
