Windows 10: Move Recovery Partition: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 16:06, 27 July 2024

Add space to the disk via VMWare, Hyper-V, etc...
In diskmgmt.msc make a filler partition and leave enough space at the end of the disk to move recovery to it.
Create another partition with the remaining space. This is where our Recovery Partition will move to. Here we are using N.
Using DISKPART
- list disk
- select disk <of recovery partition>
- list partition
- select partition <of recovery partition>
- assign letter=O
In an elevated command prompt
- Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:C:\recovery-partition.wim /CaptureDir:O:\ /Name:"Recovery"
- Dism /Apply-Image /ImageFile:C:\recovery-partition.wim /Index:1 /ApplyDir:N:\
Register the location of the recovery tools
- reagentc /disable
- reagentc /setreimage /path N:\Recovery\WindowsRE
- reagentc /enable
Back in diskpart hide the recovery partition
- For UEFI:
  - select volume N
  - set id="de94bba4-06d1-4d40-a16a-bfd50179d6ac"
  - gpt attributes=0x8000000000000001
  - remove
- For BIOS
  - select volume N
  - set id=27
  - remove
Delete the old recovery partition
- list partition
- select partition <of old recovery partition>
- delete partition override
Reboot the computer
Verify recovery partition is working
- reagentc /info
