    System reserve needs to be 500MB so you'll probably need to use a 3rd party program like EaseUS to expand the partition.

    edit assuming Disk Management cannot extend the volume.

    I can't update Windows 10 to 2004 or 20H2. I receive the error that Windows can't update the reserved system partition. My reserved system partition if 499MBs. It has 484MBs of free space. I have disabled Bitlocker. All other updates are current.

    Since I installed this update my HDMI port is not working. Doesn't show in my device manager either. Anyone with a similar problem or possible solution?
