and I apologize for not seeing that sooner. I am used to seeing a disk layout of EFI System Reserved Boot Partition, followed by the big partition that is the Windows system, followed by the recovery partition at the end. Yes, the simple, three sentence solution was staring us in the face the whole time (with one adjustment) - shrink the recovery partition. Add the free space to the System Reserved Partition (EFI boot). Reboot.
