You get this error if the System Reserved partition is too small. The System Reserved partition needs to be at least 300 to 450 MBs. A common recommendation is \"use EasyUS Partition Master\" to expand this System Reserved partition to this recommended size. But EaseUS Partition Master 10.5 comes with some risks.<\/p>\n<p>I mentioned within my blog post, this MS Answers thread <a href=\"http:\/\/answers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/windows\/forum\/windows_10-windows_install\/windows-update-error-80007003-when-upgrading-to\/d801a736-f896-4308-834a-e5d21db0e8c7?page=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Windows update error 80007003 when upgrading to Windows 10<\/a>.

In his case it was also a EaseUS Partition Manager. <\/p>\n<p>The problem: It seems that EaseUS Partition Master 10.5 is changing the partition IDs of System Reserve partitions to OEM partition IDs on UEFI systems with GPT disks. In this case Windows 10 setup can't read the disk footprint properly and stalls to upgrade. User genet was discussing this case within <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20180108231322\/https:\/\/www.eightforums.com\/installation-setup\/54058-windows-8-1-recovery-could-not-find-recovery-environment-3.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this forum post<\/a>. He posted the disk layout in Windows 8.1 before and after repartition with EaseUS Partition Master 10.5. And he provides a fix using Windows tools. So, be careful, which tool you use to re-partition your hard disks or SSDs.
