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.

    Thanks Pistachio, but I'm afraid that just gives me a different error message:

    Unfortunately, I don't know what happen to my computer but now my system doesn't detect the OS drive. I believe that happen because of a command in artificial which has to be disabled and then afterwards enable(reagentc /disable). My speculation is that I forgot to enable it. So I make my pendrive bootable and Try to enable it What are your thoughts guys. I ran through diagnostics and didn't detect OS SSD.

    Error message: an Operating system wasn't found. Try disconnecting any drives that don't contain and Operating system.

    Press CTRL+Alt+Del to restart

    I have followed the instruction to create a new partition with 2GB.

    However, when I changed from original OEM HDD to SSD, I did not create partition to use the "Window Recovery Environment WinRE". I use Recovery-USB instead.

    I tried to update again but it still failed since my Windows does not even have WinRE.

    Now the Window Update is stuck.....

    Should the Update at least checking before apply the update ???
