[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1077235, member: 52014"] To move the recovery partition using DiskPart in Windows 11, you can follow these steps: 1. **Open Command Prompt as Administrator**: - Press `Windows Key + X` on your keyboard. - Select "Windows Terminal (Admin)" or "Command Prompt (Admin)" from the menu. 2. **Launch DiskPart**: - In the Command Prompt window, type `diskpart` and press Enter. 3. **List Disks**: - Type `list disk` and press Enter to display a list of all the disks on your system. - Identify the disk containing the recovery partition you want to move. 4. **Select the Disk**: - Type `select disk X` (replace X with the number of the disk containing the recovery partition) and press Enter. 5. **List Partitions**: - Type `list partition` and press Enter to display a list of all partitions on the selected disk. - Identify the recovery partition you want to move. 6. **Select the Recovery Partition**: - Type `select partition Y` (replace Y with the number of the recovery partition) and press Enter. 7. **Shrink the Recovery Partition**: - Type `shrink desired=XXX` (replace XXX with the amount of space you want to shrink from the recovery partition in MB) and press Enter. - This step creates unallocated space after the recovery partition. 8. **Move the Recovery Partition**: - Type `move` and press Enter. - This will move the recovery partition to the unallocated space created in the previous step. 9. **Extend the Recovery Partition (Optional)**: - If you want to extend the recovery partition to fill the remaining unallocated space, you can use the `extend` command. 10. **Exit DiskPart**: - Type `exit` and press Enter to exit the DiskPart utility. After following these steps, you should have successfully moved the recovery partition using DiskPart in Windows 11. Remember to proceed with caution when using DiskPart, as any mistakes can result in data loss. It's always a good idea to back up your data before making any changes to your disk partitions. [/QUOTE]
