My desktop PC and mini PC had been, but my wife’s laptop hadn’t. I started the update process only to be greeted with the error message ‘We couldn’t update system reserved partition’.

    I checked the partitions and it showed I had 300MB reserved, which wasn’t enough to accommodate this update. I thought it would be simple to enlarge the C partition using Disk Management in Windows, but you can do it only if of the partition to the right.
