About two months ago I restored Windows10 (the updater failed and I couldn't update the system despite my efforts), and now my EFI partition is on the wrong drive (it's on my Linux NVMe SSD). I don’t want to reinstall Windows again when everything returns to how I like it. Can I use the Windows recovery option to reinstall the base system and set up an EFI partition on the correct disk without having to reinstall everything?

Ensure all additional devices are disconnected before starting the installation.

I usually remove all connections from a system prior to installing any operating system, whether it's Windows or *NIX based. Thanks for the reference. I plan to try it out.
