My Windows 11 refuses to upgrade because there is not enough space on the System Reserved partition. Unfortunately it's only 100MB and Lenovo used a bit of it for its Firmware recovery tools.
I disabled bitlocker on the drive, and found online instructions on how to resize using AOMEI but AOMEI won't do that unless I pay for the full version.
I tried Minitool partition wizard and... I'd like some guidance before I mess up my drive (yes, I have a full backup).
The guide I found said to shrink the main partition so free space is available on the left of the main partition. Then move the free unallocated space to be adjacent to the system reserved partition and then finally expand the System Reserved partition.
I tried doing that with Minitool but I am unable to move the allocated space once it's "scheduled" (that is, it's in the to-do list but not actually done yet).
Do I need to run those tasks one at the time for that to happen? I'm concerned I end up wasting hours to resize the main partition and then I still cannot expand the system partition.

Any help would be great thanks!
