Seems that I have to relearn more things about the PC with UEFI.
"The EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) system partition or ESP is a partition on a data storage device (usually a hard disk drive or solid-state drive) that is used by computers having the Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). When a computer is booted, UEFI firmware loads files stored on the ESP to start installing operating systems and various utilities. "

Is that ESP partition optional or mandatory on the HDD for an UEFI install?
