嗯，最近在看台湾总统大选的新闻，作为一个中国大陆人，真心建议你们要守护好台湾的民主自由，千万不能走回专制。否则，连Google都不给你们访问，更不要谈手中的珍贵选票了。

I need help.
I have dual boot windows and ubuntu. I want to expand the EFI System partition and reinstall windows, not going to touch installed ubuntu at all .
So, my question if I just delete Windows, reserved(of windows) partition and expand the EFI then everything will be fine like already installed ubuntu?
Or I have to something else too?
And How can I backup EFI partition and files of it using ubuntu?
Thanks.

It should be fine.

The EFI system partition is merely a FAT file system with 0xEF partition code, simply mount it and copy all files in the file system should do.
after that ubuntu will be able to boot without any modifications in grub?
Fstab update is required since expanding a partition changes its UUID
It is required to update fstab since the UUID would be changed when expanding a partition.
Good point, do check whether if the UUID of the ESP file system changes after expanding it.
btw, how to update fstab?
via terminal,choose an editor you want
such as $ sudo vi /etc/fatab
using live boot?
Can you tell me how to check UUID using terminal?
hmmm,I think it's ok to do it using live boot,if you can't enter the ubuntu as usual.
I think you can read the guide from Archwiki
Thanks for that. I didn't knew it was the command 😂
I thought it was the component's name.
Did anyone used hackintosh?
