    I got two recovery-partitions


    UPDATE (sorry for the delay....had to take care of business!)

    Goes without saying, that a FULL system image was taken with Macrium Reflect, before everything! (Greatly advised for anyone who starts playing with partitions).

    Partitions status BEFORE:


    I got two recovery-partitions [​IMG]



    Repartitioned with AOMEI Partition Assistant Pro from Kyhi’s WinPESE_x64.

    Steps taken:
    1. Deleted partition 1 (old Recovery 450 MB). It became Unallocated Space
    2. Moved partition 2 (EFI 100 MB) to the far left. It became Partition 1
    3. Moved partition 3 (MSR 16 MB) next to EFI. It became Partition 2
    4. Merged partition 4 (Primary 463 GB) with the unallocated space created by the deletion of the old Recovery 450 MB. It took some time, (close to 30 min, understandable, due to size). It became Partition 3
    5. Rebooted and everything went smoothly...
    6. Checked with diskpart and I had 4 new partitions and when checked Reagentc /info, RE was enabled for the new Partition 4, without running
    Reagentc /setreimage /path \\?\GLOBALROOT\device\harddisk0\partition4\Recovery\WindowsRE

    Partitions status AFTER:

    If that last one (the automatic registration of RE to the correct new partition) is explainable...then everything went PERFECT!


    A HUGE thanks to @lx07 and @NavyLCDR for their greatly appreciated help!!! *Smile*Smile

    Hi,

    Only the partition # was changed, not the partition itself. That's why.

    Cheers, *Wink

    And I completely forgot to pay my respect where is well deserved:
    A big thanks to @Kyhi for his excellent WinPE disk and the tools he has included. *Thumbs
