Moving OS Partition on UEFI System

Thread needs solution

Acronis Disk Director 12
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
The hard drive is a 1 TB GPT.

I have the following partition sequence:
EFI System partition, OS partition, Recovery partition, Data partition

I want move the Recovery partition before the OS partition as follows:
EFI System partition, Recovery partition, OS partition, Data partition

Since the OS partition is at a different location, does Disk Director change the BCD in the EFI System partition so it knows that the OS partition is at a different location?

Thanks in advance.

Hello John,

You do not have to worry about the OS partition moving physically to a different location on the disk. The partition will be located automatically by its ID, and BCD uses a relative path, like \Windows\system32\winload.efi, to reference the boot loader.
