Windows 10: Cannot locate system reserved partition in disk management

I tried installing windows 11 from an iso file and it said " we couldn't update system reserved partition". So I went to Disk Management and I can't locate the system reserved partition :Where can I find my system reserved partition?

cannot locate system reserved partition on Disk Management

I am trying to update Windows 10 and it keeps giving me an error and saying that "We couldn't update system reserved partition" I have gone into Disk Management but could not locate what the system reserved partition is. I would appreciate if someone
could point me in the right direction.

Thanks

 

cannot locate system reserved partition on Disk Management

This Windows 10 upgrade error is usually caused by insufficient space on the System Reserved partition. When you install Windows to a partitioned MBR disk, Windows will create an additional partition without drive letter labeled as System Reserved, which
stores important boot files and normally locates before the system partition (often known as C: drive). On Windows 7, it often takes 100MB disk space, 350MB on Windows 8, and 500MB on Windows 10. Since upgrading to Windows 10 needs more space on the System
Reserved partition, Windows 10 will not upgrade unless it detects that the System Reserved partition has enough space. If you fresh install Windows 10 to a specific partition, you won't receive this error. By the way, the System Reserved partition first appearance
was on Windows 7, so you won't have this error on previous versions of Windows.

To solve this problem of being unable to update System Reserved partition, you can increase the size of System Reserved partition using third party free partition software like AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard, which can manage your disks and partitions
without data loss.

Yes, the System Reserved partition only has 15mb left which isn't enough space to expand the System Volume Info file that needs to help the Upgrade.

The solution to this is to install free Partition Wizard disk manager to extend the System Reserved partition into C by another 400mb which will make the System Reserved partition plenty large.

See this video for how to extend System Reserved by 400mb:

Here is the download site for Partition Wizard:

It's possible you may first need to right click System Reserved to assign a Drive letter. But try the Extend operation first to see if it works without it.

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
