Windows 10: How do find room for EFI system partition?

I've been trying to convert my Legacy bios to UEFI, to access secure boot and update to windows 11. I've been trying with to convert my disk using the mbr2gpt method, but I keep getting Can not find room for the EFI system partition. I've tried shrinking my C: and have 5gb of unallocated space, yet it is not working.

:)

 

MBR2GPT fails with error - Cannot find room for the EFI system partition.

Regarding this image, which partition should I extend?

The problem wasn't that I didn't have enough space to update, it was the MBR2GPT error: "cannot find room for the EFI system partition"

Have you tried running MBT2EFI while in Windows? Normally, the System EFI partition will be placed after the OS partition. If the utility cannot shrink the C partition, it may not be able to add that partition. You do only have 58 GB free in C so I can
see why it might have problems.

It also has to add an MSR partition which is probably 16 MB so there may not be enough room in the 101 MB partition, but just 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..
