Till now markky99 didn't respond to the above comment. :mad:

Changing quotes and removing it's context like in post #55 is very manipulative.




Let us know, how and when I was creating / loading the WinRE if the partition needs to be enlarged? The post...

Only a lack of understanding allows this interpretation:

In the search box type cmd
then select "Run as admin"
you get this:
C:\Windows\System32>
then you copy & paste
dir /?

C:\Windows\System 32>dir /?

run cmd
C:\Windows\System32>dir /?
and configure accordingly

ISO on USB is not a good idea, because it's too slow!
Don't run an Update.
Just mount the ISO from (D:) and start the setup.exe. The process checks the PC first and let you know if s.th. is wrong....

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

Mount WIN11 ISO and let it run.

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

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...

I ran several MBR2GPT and they never failed and I never had to do anything!

What I would do.

Boot from USB and delete Partitions 3-4
Then create the EFI in partition 1

sel disk 0
sel par 1...

cmd (admin)
XCOPY R:\Recovery\WindowsRE C:\Windows\System32\Recovery

but your WinRE.wim is too old being successfully updated!
!

YOU are responsible for that!
Have you ever heard s.th. about...

I DID NOT tell you to run mountvol C: /s !!!!!!!!!!

We search the WinRE.wim first:
1. cmd
dir /a /s c:\Windows\System32\winre.wim

if not there:
2.
diskpart
sel disk 0

cmd (admin)
mountvol B: /s

run "Notepad" as Admin
and File open and navigate to B:\

Is there an EFI Folder or BIOS?

ricardomax

OK 1.step

run cmd (admin)
C:\Windows\System32>diskpart
sel disk 0
sel par 1
format quick fs=fat32 label="System"
assign letter=S

Mike, your Disk 1 also needs a treatment
As it's almost empty, you fix it easily.
Copy everything from (F:) to ...
Run cmd
diskpart
sel disk 1
clean
covert gpt
create partition primary...

That's easy to fix, but I don't wait so long till I get an answer!
My time is limited

Let Megahertz try

Go to the PC with the additional disk and create a screenshot of "Diskmanagement"

click on keyboard "Windows" + "R" and in Run type msinfo32

There you should find if BIOS or UEFI

Run
C:\Windows\System32>diskpart
list disk
sel disk # (replace # by the diskno.)
list par...

Are you in BIOS or UEFI now?

type cmd (admin)
bcdedit
does it show:
\Windows\system32\winload.efi or winload.exe ?

I think that we are ready. The job is done!
Hope you learned s.th. :party:

cmd as administrator

YES! That's it!

That layout is almost like the MS-Layout, except that the EFI is at the end. It is big enough to accomodate further files.
The Recovery with 1 GB is ready for future updates.
...

New screenshot of diskmanagement

you did not enter the "extend" command from diskpart!

reagentc /disable
diskpart
sel disk 0
sel par 2
delete partition override
sel par 1
extend

OK, we are ready
post a screenshot of "diskmanagement"
