Deleting system reserved partition in Windows 11

I would like to delete the system reserved partition in Windows 11. That requires moving the BCD files to the "normal" system partition (drive letter C) . I have done that successfully, but manually, in Windows 7 some years ago, but now I would like to count on EasyBCD to do it in Windows 11 automatically. However, EasyBCD documentation does not state anywhere that it supports Windows 11. So, does anybody knows whether it would work ?

Is this the OEM Win11 recovery partition? These non-enumerated partitions have different functions within windows. The smallest is about 100Mb and the largest about 1GB. Try a tool like AOMEI Partition manager to re-size and move them. If you are really that short on space, then your laptop probably includes and NVME format SSD, which uses an upgrade socket like the old RAM sticks. Wear a grounding strap, a plug with only the ground wire connected to an exercise band on your wrist, and just upgrade your NVMe SSD to something twice the size. This will make it easier, not more difficult, to run a multiple boot system. If you're currently on a mechanical HDD, you'll be pleaseantly suprised at how much faster the machine runs. As wtih all these major operations, take a backup first!
 
No, this is not the Win11 recovery partition. I am talking about the system reserved partion, the one which contains the BCD files required to boot the system. I am not short in disk space, I just want to decrease the number of used partition slots in the disk, so moving those files to the C: partition would make it bootable (without depending on the system reserved one) and would spare one partition slot which then can be deleted.
