In reply to douglas hunt. Hi, Yes indeed it was just an example. Just reworked the full article to be more explicit with real sizes! Juste had to resize as the old partitions were. I just fixed my laptop before creating the blog post, I had indeed around 750 Mb. I'm running Windows 10 Pro and it is also an i5. After deleting the recovery partition and/or having a partition larger than 1Gb, the update is working smoothly again. To answer the second question, you would need to install a third party software, using only the disk management it is not possible to create ESP partitions. You can download and install the AOMEI Partition Assistant 10.2.2 free version software to make it using a GUI. Or you can use and adapt the diskpart commands. Hope it helps.

was this just an example? your partition shows 1gb already and most reports indicate 750mb should be sufficient ?
I have several laptops that are failing with the 0x80070643 error and their WinRE partitions are 544mb / 640mb / 522mb.
they are all core2duo based.
I have one with 577mb WinRE partition that updated correctly, it was I5 based.
All of these laptops were fresh Win7 updated to Win10 or Win10 installs [ non oem ] with similar sized WinRE partitions.
Is it possible to use the win disk mgmt to shrink the “C” volume and then extend the WinRE volume?
not much on them, all were strays that I rehabbed with SSD’s and more RAM.
