Windows 10: Can't update reserve partition. I have unallocated space on my SSD. How can I convert that...

I can't seem to update Windows 10 to 2004. I have a 65 mb EFI system partition as well as my main partition and half a gig of unallocated space. How can I fix this problem? I flashed this ssd from a hardrive i replaced it with rather than doing a fresh install, but that was a year ago and I've had no update issues until now. Any help is appreciated

Partition space

You're not understanding this. Unallocated space is NOT equal as (partitioned) empty space.

Unallocated space means empty RAW sectors on HDD. Empty space means an already allocated file system (either FAT32 or NTFS or any other) that is not occupied by any data.

So in your case, as DanTheBanjoman already suggested, don't try to shrink "unallocated space", extend the main (C*Smile partition instead. You can't shrink something that doesn't exist (unallocated space), but you can extend the existing partition over unallocated space.
So, just select the C: partition and extend it further. Program should automatically allow you to do that. I'm not using Partition Magic, but i usually done this with either:
MiniTool Partition Wizard Free - manage and resize disk partitions (also for 64bit OS!)

or

EaseUS Partition Master - manage disk partitions (only for 32bit OS!)

 

Unallocated Space to C Drive

No System Reserved Partition but there is 500mb unallocated space

I have dropped that idea now I want to convert unallocated space into system reserved partition...so can I use EasyBCD 2.2 - Neowin?
