    EFI System Partition too small for Bitlocker


    Hi.

    I'm just picking up a comment by @NavyLCDR here - Windows 10 System Partition Requirement UEFI - NTFS or FAT32 - Windows 10 Forums

    I have this exact issue where by my EFI System partition is 260mb and I need it to be 350mb for Bitlocker to work and I have a 16mb Partition (Assume it's MBR) in between the EFI and C:\windows partition where I will need to take some of the space from.

    Many thanks

    :)

    EFI System Partition

    So, an EFI system partition is perfectly normal on a Windows 10 disk (I assumed you've done an internet search and discovered that this partition is for booting your system).

    Are you trying to backup the contents of this partition?.... if so, what software are you using?

    The Efi system partition deleting during clean install....

    Hello,

    I have the Dell inspiron 15 5558 and i wanted to know that mine got a partition called the "EFI system partition" which is of 100mb. So, when i will go to clean install of windows 10 to the step to delete all my partitions, will that system reserved partition
    be recreated during install? Or i have to click on new, and then that system reserved partition gets created(which will be of 500mb for windows10 according to my research)?
