    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 How can I resize the EFI partition :)

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

  3. Cannot resize the system reserved partition

    I just gave you the steps to delete the MSR (Microsoft Reserved) partition
    which is the third one in your screenshot
    , then resize C from the left, and EFI System to the right to make it larger.

  4. How can I resize the EFI partition

    Expanding EFI partition and moving MSR partition.

    I would like to install Mac Os on this device. However I am limited by the size of the EFI partition. Mac Os requires at least 200mb. I have only 100mb. So I resized the Windows partition to leave 100mb unallocated. However I can't extend the EFI partition
    because there is a MSR partition in the way. https://puu.sh/rFbsz/e52c847706.png

    I know both the EFI and MSR partition and very much required partitions for proper functioning and it is better to not mess with it. But I have to get the EFI to 200mb. So how to move the MSR partition. I am pretty familiar with DISKPART or other GUI based
    partition managers.
