Would there be any issues if I import the tables of HDD in the new windows, w

  2. Install Windows 10 without deleting all previous partitions on the harddisk.

    I was trying to install windows 10 in my Asus X441N which has no lagacy boot option so I had to install it in UEFI mode. In the setup I selected an unalocated space of 100GiB and pressed next and it created three partition (Windows, System, Recovery) then
    complained about the boot order of the partitions it just created itself Would installing windows on a SSD affect my dynamic harddisk setup? Can I delete Individual... :( (why it would do that?). I choosed to continue ignoring the complain then the instalation started and a window popped up showing error that it detected the EFI partition(The System
    partition it just created in the previous step) was NTFS not FAT32. I searched in the internet for the problem, and found answers like -

    • Delete all the partiions in your harddisk
    • Rename the EFI folder in the bootable usb to NoEFI or something else
    • format the System partition to fat32 using diskpart (I don't know when)
    I can't delete all the partitions and the other two didn't worked.

    Then I tried to install it mannually(Apply the images with dism) with the help of this documentation https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...stem-and-recovery-partitions#apply-the-images.
    Well I didn't followed every steps in there. I've created the partitions using KDE partitioner, ignoring the recommended order(didn't find any) -

    • System partition of 116 MB - fat32
    • Recovery partition of 450 MB - ntfs
    • Windows and Data partition of 100GiB - ntfs
    Then just followed the steps of the above mentioned documentation from the the cmd of the bootable usb.

    I'm pretty sure I used the correct drive letters during these steps then rebooted. In the OOBE it showed that Windows setup was unable to configure windows in this hardware.

    So, Can someone help me to "Install Windows 10 without deleting all previous partitions on the harddisk" by any method?

    C windows installer folder - Delete?

    He can do symbolic link redirection and move the files in it to a different location. *Wink Would installing windows on a SSD affect my dynamic harddisk setup? Can I delete Individual... ;)
    Better try it out in a virtual of first. Just a suggestion.

    Like:
    First move everything in c:\windows\installer to d:\installercache
    Then delete c:\windows\installer folder
    Then type this in command mode as admin
    mklink /d c:\windows\installer d:\installercache

    Removing those installer files is a bad idea. it might prevent you from updating or uninstalling apps.
