I wish I had some answer that would put you on the right track, but I may have used more than one Partition Manager to get the job done. My feeling is that you need help using partition managers more than a reference to a particular one. It would be complicated and perhaps impossible for me to tell you how to use any partition manager (on-line) in a way that would help you more than just get you into more difficulties and perhaps make your system unusable altogether. If you can find someone who can actually show you (in person) how to do the things I have suggested it would probably be the best situation. Poor instruction {from me on line) could be the worst that could happen, even worse than the situation you have now...

Try to find someone to be a tutor in the use of a partition manager. They are not all the same , some PMs are more useful than others, but they are not all that intuitive in their use and can do serious damage to your OS if make a mistake....

Hi Saheblal...

Whatever partition managers(s) you use, you need to accomplish three things:

First to shrink the primary partition enough to provide a small amount of unallocated space that can be used to increase the size of the SRP partition..

Second to move the primary partition so that the unallocated space is adjacent to the SRP partition...

Third to expand the SRP partition to to include part or all of the unallocated space to increase its size...

I know this works since I fixed my own windows 11 problem of not being able to update to the latest version...

What I cannot do, is to give a "step by step" method, since there is a need for anyone attempting to do the same thing needing to have both an understanding of how to use the partition manager(s) of choice and how to to create a recoverable backup just in case things go wrong. All the procedures suggested above require software that is capable of the operations suggested. There are both free and not free partition managers and backup software on the internet and it is necessary to explore the way you are willing to proceed. I was fortunate to already have on hand the tools I needed and some experience in using them...

I regret not being able to provide the "step by step" that I'm sure many would benefit from. My post was only to show the source of the problem (the SRP being too small) and a way to fix it (worked for me). It is possible that MS may decide to provide a fix or workaround at some point, but I did not want to wait. There may even be other solutions that work as well that I am not aware of...

Hii I tried with about 3-4 partition managers but they didn't helped out. Can you list out which helped you most. My SRP is only 100 MB and my friend's laptop has SRP of 260 MB. A reply from you would help me 🙏. Hoping to hear from you 😊
