How can I enlarge the EFI partition on a dual boot-system with Windows and Linux?

Source: superuser.com --- Sunday, July 02, 2017
I intend to install Windows and Linux on my system which is booted in UEFI-mode. For Linux, I intend to do the following things: install the LTS kernel and whatever current version the mainline brings with it use systemd-boot So ultimately, the default size (100 MB) of the EFI partition, which is created during the installation of Windows gets pretty crowded (roughly 94 MB get used). Hence I'd like to enlarge said partition but as the standard recommendation for disk layouts puts that MSR partition right after the EFI partition , this proves to be a really big problem. I am aware that I can delete the MSR partition which I did. But then Win 10 did not start and the boot repair program from the Win 10 USB drive was unable to repair the boot problems but that got fixed, ultimately. But now the EFI partition again is 100 MB big. And even with diskpart I am unable to enlarge the EFI partition as it says You may not shrink oem esp or recovery partitions. The selected volume [etc.]... Does anyone know of an arguably "simple" steps or sequence thereof to enlarge the EFI partition? Note: As the user here , I was unable to move the MSR partition via GParted Live (actually it was GParted on a Xubuntu USB drive). ...
