Creating new /boot partition

I have both Windows and Arch installed on my computer and my Linux /boot is the same partition as Windows SYSTEM, the one with EFI directory, but not C:. Eventually I ran out of space (this partition is 200 MiB), so I want to create new /boot partition for Arch only.

Is it possible to have separate "boot partitions" for Windows and Linux having dual boot at the same time? Can I do that without complete system reinstallation?

I'm very new to it and, actually, it even wasn't me, who installed arch on my machine, so I don't really know, how it all works

Re: Creating new /boot partition

You could also just make your root partition the new "/boot" if you use a bootloader that can read from your filesystem.

Which bootloader are you using?

Can you still reach them for support? We consider that somewhat of a disservice if someone does this, as Arch requires a bit more of an understanding of what you want from your system.
