Hi,
One way of accessing this is as follows.
First of all, undo the changes you've made to show this partition and then reboot the notebook - check that the efi partition is now hidden again when viewing through windows explorer.
Next, download and install the file Manager utility Free Commander on the following link.
http://freecommander.com/en/summary/
When done, right click the Start Menu icon and select Command Prompt (Admin).
Into the prompt, type the following command and hit enter (include the spaces as shown below).
mountvol x: /s
Then type exit and hit enter.
From the Start Menu, select All apps, then open the Free Commander folder, right click the Free Commander utility inside, select More and then select 'Run as Administrator'.
In the Free Commander window, select partition X from the Toolbar - you should then be able to browse to:
X:\EFI\
