Can't update Windows 11 or HP Bios
HP Envy desktop 2023. Windows 11 Pro. Version 23H2. OS build 22631.4541 13th Gen Intel i7, 64 GB ram.
Very little space used on hard drives. When I try to update Windows 11 or the Bios, I get an error message that says "This PC doesn't currently meet Windows 11 system requirements. Here's why: We couldn't update the system reserved partition."
When I went into disk management, all of the partitions were 100% free. C drive is 87% free. However, when I went to Settings-Storage-Disks & Volumes, it shows some of the partitions are almost full. It won't let me change the size of them.
What to do?
Hello,
