Windows 10: Is it safe to remove this "RST" entry from the EFI System Partition?

the output of `bcdedit /enum firmware` is the following: Firmware Boot Manager --------------------- identifier {fwbootmgr} displayorder {bootmgr} {eb730034-e0bc-11ed-94cc-806e6f6e6963} {f379c659-0d9c-11ee-94ff-806e6f6e6963} {eb73002e-e0bc-11ed-94cc-806e6f6e6963} timeout 0 Windows Boot Manager -------------------- identifier {bootmgr} device partition=\Device\HarddiskVolume1 path \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi description

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..

Formating Efi system partition as FAT32

During an install you can remove all the critical partitions, of which the EFI System partition is one. You do not have to pre-format a drive during an install. Just remove the Critical partitions ( MSR, EFI, Recovery and OS)and leave unallocated space.
The install will take care of the rest.

You can delete the partition and use the Diskpart create partition EFI command with qualifiers, if necessary. If you have already created the partition, try using Diskpart from a command prompt (Shift+F10 during the install) and format.

If you need to convert a drive from MBR to GPT or vice versa, you need to remove ALL partitions.

 

Can the EFI partition be briefly and safely mounted?

Can the EFI partition be briefly and safely mounted? Am I correct that mountvol p: /s will mount the EFI partition to drive letter p? Does mounting the EFI partition create a security issue for the pc?
