Mount to /efi, and resize the par to 1GiB to be safe

#

not sure how well you can resize the ESP if you got more pars in front of it, personally I would just reinstall and manually give windows the 1GiB par while installing it

#

why would you make it 1gib

#

empty

#

arch wiki recommends 1GiB to be sure. Besides most SSDs are 500GB+ it doesnt hurt to be safe

recommends 1GiB
yeah, if multiple kernels will be installed, but none should since it's not a /boot
it doesn't hurt
it really does when you're dealing with existing positions
