Missing 'Reserved System' partition

Question

I wonder if anyone can help, please? [  Running Win 10 Pro [ 21H1 ] 64 bit  + 8Gb RAM ] I am having persistent problems installing update '2022-08 Security Update for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based Systems (KB5012170)'  It keeps showing Error Code 0x800f0922. Looking at potential solutions I discovered one issue may be that the ‘System Reserved’ partition may be below 500Mb. The problem is – I do not have a System Reserved partition,  the only partitions are; OEM partition [39Mb] Recovery Partition [11.73 Gb]  plus the standard operational Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, etc Primary partition. Should there be a System Reserved partition and how does one create it?    Also do I still need the OEM and Recovery partitions because it is some time since this machine first shipped with Win 7 Pro and I suspect no recovery info will be of any value whatsoever – or does it get updated when one upgrades to a newer system? Any guidance will be gratefully received!

Press the Windows key + R.
Select the partition marked System Reserve.
Select Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Choose Add.
Enter Y for the drive letter.
Tap or click OK.
From the Start menu, search for cmd.
In the command prompt, type Y: and hit enter to switch to that drive.
