I saw that I have 520MB of Healthy Recovery Partition in which I failed to shrink and the error was "you may not shrink OEM, ESPY or recovery partitions, or, offline volumes. The volume you have selected may not be shrunk. Please select another volume and try again.".) (Also when I shrink from C: and then I do not see new partition which suppose to be seen).

So kindly help.

    I was finally able to perform this task thanks to this video.

    *NOTE: Your partition and disk numbers may differ from in the video*

    Apparently the "shrink" command is for the PRIMARY partition, not RECOVERY.

    The Microsoft instructions needs revisiting.

    Also, YES, I was able to install the ridiculous update after following the instructions in the video.

    No, they're stating it correctly.
