Okay
Do I need to keep all these damn partitions? I do not use the Volume Shadow option in Services.msc nor do I use the system restore option. Refer to the snapshot below.
I assume these are recovery partitions for the previous installs from Win Update. I am on the absolute latest for the fast ring (17751)
I wanna dump like partitions 5-13 say...

lol get rid of all of them, If you insist on trying the bleeding edge of what Microsoft has to offer send them a note and say the upgrade worked then use the ISO to do a clean install and if that works send them a message.
I stopped beta testing OS's around 15 ~ 20 years ago
It is because your recovery partion (1) is too small so each upgrade makes another. And another.
Don't delete EFI partition (2) but you can delete all the recovery partitions if you don't use them - that is disk 0 partition 1 and 5 to 14.
Next upgrade will make one more (probably) but that will be it as then the first recovery partition it finds after that will be big enough.
You could shuffle them around to make them like this recommended layout with minitool partition wizard if you wanted but there is no need.
