Windows 10: There is a way to move the System Partition EFI from a older disk to a new one?

Hello, I just moved my Windows 10 from a HDD to a SSD, because i wanted to use the HDD with a Linux distro. I created a boot of my Windows into a pen drive and formated the HDD disk to use later. I succefully installed Windows on my SDD so i realised that the System Partition EFI with Windows Boot Manager isn't on SSD disk but remained on HDD disk. I just wanted to know if there is a way to move this partition safetely to SSD or if there is another way to create this files besides erase all the disks and boot again.btw: if i upgrade to Windows 11 there is any chance this files go to SSD disk?

:)

 

My EFI System and Recovery Partitions are on the wrong disk (Windows 10)

Please boot into WinRE and do the following:

1. Delete the EFI partition on disk 0
   
2. Re-run the bcdboot command suggested earlier. Be sure to use the correct drive letter. You can determine the OS partition's drive-letter by running diskpart & list volume commands.
   

Edit:

"Volume Z" gave you two more options. If you don't mind having the EFI on disk 0, then all you need to do is delete the unwanted boot entries using msconfig.

OTOH, if you want to have the EFI partition on Disk 2, then delete the EFI partition on Disk 0 and run the bcdboot command.

Okay I figured out what I did wrong earlier and have done pretty much everything suggested. I deleted the extra boot entries in msconfig, properly ran the bcdboot command, and deleted the EFI partition on Disk 0 so the multiple OS options at startup are well and truly gone. So my Disk Management now looks like this:





Now I want the Recovery Partition on Disk 2 as well. Since my new EFI partition ended up taking the larger portion of unallocated space, I'm assuming I need to shrink the Primary Partition on Disk 2 so there's enough room for a new Recovery Partition? Sounds like around 500 MB should be enough for Recovery. How would I go about creating the Recovery Partition at that point? It seems more tricky than creating the EFI was.

It will stop happening upon one of the following events:

• The unused Windows entries get deleted in msconfig
  
• Disk 2 is selected to boot
  
• The EFI System Partition on Disk 0 gets deleted, formatted or disconnected.
