If WinRE partition is not adjacent to the Windows partition, it should 
be corrected prior to upgrading(any method) from Win10 to Win11.
  - Disable the non-adjacent WinRE using reagentc (this is important)
     => Why is it important...This will place(move) the WinRE 
file(winre.wim) to the C:drive and in the correct 
place[C:\Windows\System32\Recovery folder.}
  - Shrink the Windows partition by 1 or 2 GB(the latter ensures it will 
be sufficient size until Win11 EOL)
  - Delete the disabled WinRE partition
  - Recreate a new WinRE in the unallocated space.
     => The WinRE file on the C drive will be moved to the WinRE partition
  - Verify WinRE is now adjacent to the Windows partition
  - Restart the device, check again. Run Windows Update to ensure May 
2024 latest SSU, LCU/SafeOS/WinRE is present

If you don't know how to do any of the above, you'll need to ask for 
instructions and also include pictures of current(before doing anything) 
partitions on the main disk.
