Win10 update error

Jacovs · 02-01-2016 09:28PM #1

The past month or so ive been getting an error regarding a win10 update.
It says:
• Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586
We found some issues. Select this message to fix and finish updating

Then when I click on "fix issues" it starts the process but then fails with a message stating "we couldnt update the system reserved partition".

Now from a bit of a google the most likely cause seems to be the system reserved partition that win10 created initially is now too small for further updates.

So am I right in saying ive to use some program to increase the partition size?
Sorry if its against the rules to ask, but is there a recommended program?

You can use the built-in disk manager.

First line:

"There are tons of third-party partition managers for Windows, but did you know that Windows includes its own partition manager?"

No, no I did not. But now I do.

Thank you.

Thank you for the tips.

Unfortunately, it seems I will have to make use of a 3rd party program. The win10 tool can only partition to the right, and since my system reserved partition is the first on the left, it means I cant extend it.
