Hi guys, I am having trouble upgrading to windows 10. I believe the source of my problems is the lack of a system reserved partition. I tried resetting the tablet using the 'reset' option in advanced recovery, though didn't seem to get another system reserved. How can I reinstall windows on this...

I guess I can try making a 16 MB partition. For your reference, this is my current setup: I definitely have an EFI partition, which I believed contained all my booting stuff that wasn't on C: I tried to follow this guide...

I have 128 MB free, and I want to make a 128 MB partition. The EFI is another partition located before the MSR and is 64MB. Diskmgmt actually lists it as 129 MB when there isn't any partition on it. Is there a way to check why diskpart if failing? Maybe there needs to be more room, I'm not sure.

Hi guys, I have had a look here https://support.software.dell.com/appassure/kb/137589 for instructions using diskpart to create an MSR partition. A while back I had to move the MSR partition around, which caused it to get corrupted and I was unable to fix it. PC has been working fine until...

I have just fixed the boot issues. The tutorial I followed instructed me to backup the BCD, which I restored with a Windows 8.1 32-bit recovery USB. This allowed me to boot to the recovery (Images) partition and use the Refresh tool. This solved the problem as it repartitions windows and then...

Also, according to https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn594399.aspx without an install.wim the recovery partition could be deleted. With the install.wim it is necessary. I didn't delete the Images partition, though I believe the MSR reserved partition was somehow damaged by Mini Tool.

I managed to get the USB boot working with Rufus USB creator. I tried using Mini Tool partition wizard again, and copied the MSR partition to the left and then tried to expand the Windows partition. It instructed me to restart before beginning, which caused some boot issues. I used GParted to...

Thanks, Rufus allows creation of GPT disks, which Unetbootin does not. This allowed me to boot into GParted successfully. Just to clear things up, the structure is as follows on the drive (from GParted): ESP - 64 MB Unallocated space - 9.30 GB MSR - 128 MB Windows System Partition - 14.4 GB...

I'm running windows 8.1 on a Chuwi Vi10 - a chinese tablet with a dual boot windows - android setup. On board the device comes with only 32gb, of which 10GB is used by the android OS, which I don't use anyway. I have deleted the android partitions, though they are to the left of the windows...
