Recovery and EFI partition instead of System Reserved partition

Hi Gid'-alert(1)-'

If your disk was formatted with the GPT partition style, your system has UEFI and you will not have a System Reserved Partition, you will only have Recovery and EFI Partitions, this is correct . . .

It is only if your drive war formatted to MBR, then Windows would have been loaded in Legacy BIOS and you would have the System Reserved Partition

You have nothing to worry about, your system was indeed wiped before Windows was installed . . .

 

Recovery and EFI partition instead of System Reserved partition

I forced reinstalled my windows 10 after my boot got corrupted by deleting linux on dual boot.

Now I used diskpart to wipe my SSD before I began installation. When the Win10 installation is finished. I noticed that I have Recovery and EFI Partitions on Disk management. I'm expecting System Reserved Partition because based on some forums, you can only
get System Reserved Partition if you successfully clean installed the windows 10.

so that I think I believed that I didn't clean install my Windows 10 because im getting Recovery and EFI partitions.

Please help how to can i get only System Reserved Partition not Recovery and EFI.

 

Problem with the "Reserved Partition"; Error: "We can't upgrade the system reserved partition."

If it’s a GPT disk, it doesn't have a system reserved partition but efi partition. On MBR disk, Windows 10 requires a 500MB system reserved partition, while 100MB in Windows 7, so you can try to extend system reserved partition.



In disk management, you can only extend partition using the unallocated space next to its right side. so even if you shrink D: drive, the option to extend the efi partition is still grayed out. My suggestion is to use a third party software, AOMEI Partition Assistant, both the standard (free) or the Professional(paid) version can extend partition as long as there is unallocated space on that hard drive. to see more information read:
