If Windows 8.1 installed HDD missing a EFI System Reserved partition you can create one by following below instructions. Please boot your computer with Windows Installation Media and from Windows Recovery Environment start the Command Prompt. From Command Prompt execute below commands one at a time: Code: Diskpart List Disk Select Disk 0 List Partition Select Partition X Shrink desired=100 Create Partition EFI FORMAT FS=FAT32 LABEL="ESP" Assign Letter=W Exit bcdboot C:\Windows /s W: /f ALL Use "List Disk" command to find out disk number assign to Windows 10 installed drive. Replace number 0 zero with disk number assign to Windows 10 installed drive Use "List Partition" command to find out Windows 10 installed partition assigned number. Replace X letter with Windows 10 installed partition assigned number. You may need to replace C: drive letter with Windows 10 installed partition drive letter. I have to warn you Diskpart tool is very dangers so please make sure to execute Diskpart command carefully.

Every time I reboot I have to reassign the drive letter. Maybe it's corrupted. Should I delete it before creating a new one? Should I copy all the files in it to a safe place before deleting it? After I create the new one, should I copy the files back into it?
