  1. Windows 10 couldn't update system reserved partition


    So I'm using win 7 at the moment and I want to upgrade for DX12 but anytime I try to it just says "We couldnt't update the system reserved partition"
    My reserved partition is 100mb and I know you need something like 350mb or something like that but I cant figure out how to get there. I'd rather not to a clean install if that's at all possible.
    Thanks!

    :)

    We couldn't update the system reserved partition!

    Hello, I understand there may already have been same title post in Microsoft community etc but nothing worked out out of all those I found, I tried to do the command prompt way with you know ,assigning letter to system reserved part of drive and the other
    stuff but to no avail. it doesn't seem to work, as in the Y (system reserved) drive there's only 2 files, cant make em not hidden no matter how hard I tried, I need to access boot folder to delete all languages except English as described here:

    Windows 10 couldn't update system reserved partition

    Install MiniTool Partition Wizard. Use it to expand your System Reserved Partition to 350mb. You will probably also have to shrink your big operating system partition by the same amount to make room for it.

    works like a charm increasing the size of the boot partition; my listing in computer management labled it Data rather than System Reserve, thats what threw me off at first.
