    Need to Reset Windows 10 Dual Boot (no recovery environement found)


    I had a dual boot configuration on my old X58 platform. The setup was an up to date Windows 10 partition and a Windows 1809 partion. Both OS's were on the same SSD which had the same system reserved boot partion as a result

    I have now moved to a new Z490 platform and cloned my SATA 3 SSD to my new NVME along with it. seeing as its a new platform, I decided to "fresh install" by reseting both partions from within Windows. However I can only do it for my up to date partition: Windows 10 1909. The Windows 1809 partition gives me "Could not find the recovery environement".

    I tried "reagentc /enable" but it told me: "REAGENTC.EXE: Unable to update Boot Configuration Data"

    So 2 questions then: Is there a way to create a recovery environment parmanently in Windows 1809 partion so that I won't need an external recovery media just like my Windows 1909 partition? If not, How can I reset the 1809 partition and not mess up the boot configuration?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Or Should I redo the entire dual boot thing and if so, what is the right way to do it so that both installations have a recovery environment?

    :)
