[QUOTE="appros, post: 517664, member: 68121"] I guess I can try making a 16 MB partition. For your reference, this is my current setup:[ATTACH]64281.vB[/ATTACH] 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: [URL]https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/3a6znd/we_couldnt_update_the_system_reserved_partition/[/URL] but since there isn't anything on the partition (when an NTFS partition is created) I get File not found - bootmgr when I run the attrib command. I will try creating one with a smaller size, although 128 mb is recommended. If you have any ideas on where I should be running those commands in the reddit thread, you thoughts are welcome. EDIT: Now I have created one with a smaller size. Problem persists. Also found this [url=http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-windows_install/we-couldnt-update-the-system-reserved-partition/a5003ebb-1f3f-40e5-9603-bdcc21d6b6eb]We couldn't update the system reserved partition. Something - Microsoft Community[/url] Seems that perhaps the EFI partition is the problem? I have tried to mount the EFI partition with diskmgr, though the options to are greyed out. With diskpart I was able to get into the EFI partition inside of cmd, though I'm not 100% confident on deleting stuff out of there and adding owernership didn't seem to work as per the reddit guide. Wondering if extending the EFI partition over the now 127mb MSR partition would allow it to upgrade? On a slightly separate note, I am unable to to a clean install of windows 8.1. I have tried to get a tool to get the product key, though this complains that I have the wrong edition of windows when I try to install again using a USB created with the media creation tool.
