    Reserved Partition Error


    I want to bounce this off you before move ahead.
    I'm getting the Reserved Partion error when I try to install Win 10 on my Wn 7 rig.

    My SSD is an EVO 500
    partitions are
    Data 100MB
    C: 419GB
    Unallocated 46.58GB - this is my Over Provision Partition.

    I guess I need need to increase my Data Partition to about 350MB. I want to use Minni Partition Wizard.
    Should I Reduce the Front End of my C partition? And use that space to grow the Data Partition?
    From my research, I Think I got it right.

    :)

    cannot locate system reserved partition on Disk Management

    This Windows 10 upgrade error is usually caused by insufficient space on the System Reserved partition. When you install Windows to a partitioned MBR disk, Windows will create an additional partition without drive letter labeled as System Reserved, which
    stores important boot files and normally locates before the system partition (often known as C: drive). On Windows 7, it often takes 100MB disk space, 350MB on Windows 8, and 500MB on Windows 10. Since upgrading to Windows 10 needs more space on the System
    Reserved partition, Windows 10 will not upgrade unless it detects that the System Reserved partition has enough space. If you fresh install Windows 10 to a specific partition, you won't receive this error. By the way, the System Reserved partition first appearance
    was on Windows 7, so you won't have this error on previous versions of Windows.

    To solve this problem of being unable to update System Reserved partition, you can increase the size of System Reserved partition using third party free partition software like AOMEI Partition Assistant Standard, which can manage your disks and partitions
    without data loss.

    Reserved Partition Error

    Post a screenshot of a full screen Disk Management window.

    To open Disk Management, press Windows key+r, type diskmgmt.msc and press Enter or click GO. Make it full screen. Expand the fields as necessary so everything can be seen.

    Thanks, Yes, what you proposed is what you need to do. Might even go to 500MB though 350MB should be enough.
