    files, system utility programs, etc. Sometimes the EFI partition may get RAW, deleted, or corrupted.
    So, many people want to create EFI partition diskpart manually. Here’s a user report from the
    superuser.com forum:

    Create EFI partition before installing Windows 10. I'm currently using a dual boot setup
    on my laptop, with Windows 10 and Fedora and I'm planning to replace my HDD with an
    SSD for obvious reasons. I've read that the best way to have a bigger EFI partition is to
    create it before the installation of Windows 10. Is that right? Or is there a better way to
    proceed?https://superuser.com/questions/1308324/create-efi-partition-before-
