[QUOTE="paul1149, post: 73040445, member: 280608"] Do you know if doing this will break the factory recovery partition? I'm not sure why, but I think the manufacturer's recovery software - and sometimes this is hard-coded in the BIOS - looks for a specific sector on the disk for the FRP's partition boot loader, rather than for a unique partition ID (there would have to be a good reason for doing something that otherwise would be so dumb). In the early days, whenever I would resize a partition on disk, that would break the unit's ability to do a factory reset. This was a major problem until I learned how to boot to FRP manually (on an MBR disk, anyway). So it seems to me that resizing the partitions proportionally would break the FRP. I wouldn't care for myself, but I refurb and sell laptops, and I prefer to send them out with the ability to Reset. Currently, when FRP is broken, I take an image, either with Aomei or Macrium, and maybe include a boot reset disk. That's why I was stunned when I discovered that Aomei breaks FRP, even on a clone to the same size disk. And it seems to be a problem they can't solve (maybe legalities are involved? I wouldn't doubt it.), because instead of solving it they've come up with their own "one key recovery" workaround (which actually is quite decent). [/QUOTE]
