    Windows 11 not bootable after deleting Windows Reserved 16mb partition and expanding EFI


    I have W11 and two Linux OSes.Due to extremely small EFI partitio 100mb my goal was to delete the Windows 16mb reserved one, merge it into one and then extend.However, deleting the WReserved One and EFI merging made my W11 unbootable - the logo shows during boot but then there's BSOD of Unbootable media.I tried fixing it with logging into USB W11 install, choosing command prompt, but that didn't help. Wherever I tried to execute bootrec /fixboot it resulted in Access denied.Further, my drives are now messed up in assign letters what used to be C: is now G: and so on, Windows is now XWindows 11 not bootable after deleting Windows Reserved 16mb partition and expanding EFI :pleas
