Windows 10: EFI and Recovery partition got deleted

When attempting to dual boot with Linux, my EFI boot partition and the Microsoft Reserved partition got wiped.I am currently booted into a liveuser on EndeavourOS to view my partitions in GParted. - Top unallocated is where the EFI partiton should go- /dev/sda2 are my Windows files- Bottom unallocated is where the Recovery partition should goHow might I recover these partitions so I can boot into my Windows 10 installation again?A Windows Boot Specialist might be able to help me with my problem.

How to install Win10 when the Recovery & EFI partitions were deleted?

There are a couple of issues with the above sequence. First, @drpeppercan stated that they already deleted the EFI system and recovery partition. So why is there a select part 1 and delete part override in the command sequence? What is being deleted? The Microsoft System Reserved partition? Hopefully there is an MSR partition there because if partition 1 is the Windows OS partition, then you just deleted Windows. And if there is an MSR partition there, why delete it?

Second, without a size specified when creating the EFI System Partition, it is just going to fill all available free space at the beginning of the drive. If there was a recovery partition, EFI System Partition and MSR partition, that free space is likely to be 600 MB is size, so you just created a 600 MB EFI System Partition that only needs to be 100 MB in size.

Without seeing the layout of the disk with: select disk 0, detail disk, list part you can't really suggest an accurate list of commands to rebuild the EFI system partition. It's only guessing.

 

Move EFI partition

its to enable win 10 to update to its anniversary edition.. it cant do this due to lack of C drive space i have had a quick try with the trial version of easus.. it didnt seem to be able to do what i want..

i am assuming i cant just delete the efi partition but maybe i could.. as yet i havnt even figured out how to get into the bios of the thing.. maybe that should be my next step.. *Smile

diskpart could probably do it but figuring out how (it aint that user friendly) might be difficult without step by step instructions..

Can I delete Recovery, EFI and OEM Partitions?

Hi,

Thank you for posting on Microsoft Communities.

Recovery partition consists of some important boot files and other tools. Recovery partition is created by the System Manufacturer, in case you may want to revert back to the factory settings and for troubleshooting purposes.
It is not recommended to delete the recovery partition. If you wish to delete this partition, then you will have to get in touch with the system manufacturer.

I suggest you not to remove the recovery partitions. If the partitions are deleted you will not be able to use the recovery options.

Hope this information is helpful.

Thank you.
