  • Type and start diskpart
  • Find the disk you want to use with list disk
  • Select that disk with select disk
  • List partitions with list partition
  • Select that partition with select partition
  • Shrink partition with (size in MB) shrink desired=200
  • Create new EFI partition with create partition efi size=200
  • Format partition as FAT32 with format quick fs=fat32
  • Assign letter to that new partition with assign letter=x (Can be a free letter of your choice)

Now to install boot files one can use the following command :

Make sure to use the proper devices names for the previous command, C:\ must be your current Windows install and X: your new disk.

When you are done with the previous steps, please make sure to check the boot order in your BIOS/UEFI settings and select the new device first in the boot sequence.
