Can I Delete the UEFIShell Partition on My Acer Nitro 16 AN16-41?

AlexGi

On my Acer Nitro 16 AN16-41 (NH.QKBEU.004), the manufacturer has divided the pre-installed SSD into three partitions:

1. A partition with a pre-installed UEFIShell system
2. The largest, empty partition
3. A partition used for storing factory drivers

My question is, can I delete the first partition with the UEFIShell system to merge the first and second partitions into one for installing Windows 11? Or should I leave the UEFIShell partition intact? If I leave the UEFIShell partition intact, should I simply select the largest, second partition during the Windows 11 installation, and will Windows handle the necessary disk setup?
I do not plan to touch the partition with the drivers and intend to keep it as the manufacturer set it up.

Thank you.

P.S. I use translator

Yes, you can remove the UEFISHELL partition and extend the remaining 1GB to partition 2. It is not needed for Windows.
