Win 11 Pro v.25H2 My Laptop now has a 1TB SSD as a replacement for a 500GB SSD. I'm looking for advice - pros and cons - of the best way to Partition the new drive. At the moment, it has a single C drive partition. Should I leave it this way, or add another partition? Dell Precision 3541...

Got it. Thanks!!!

I followed the instructions to the letter. First, when I tried to enter / using the keyboard, the character * appearred. I used alt+92 and the / character appeared. The command executed properly, but it once again rebooted into a grub prompt. Setup now includes Windows Boot Manager unchecked...

Celery said "Did I understand correctly that you have a Windows 11 (which won't boot) and Ubuntu dual-boot setup on the same SSD, with a single EFI partition? You want to remove Ubuntu and boot into Windows 11?" Yes. I one-time booted it with a Windows 11 Install flashdrive and it automatically...

If you read the Posts from everyone who is trying to help, Windows is mentioned. As I have stated, the only command that does NOT produce an error is "ls". If pwd is a sub for ls then I don't need it. I tried pwd and it produces an error. I have even tried the f12 boot once BIOS option. It...

I appreciate everyones attempts to help, but as I have stated; Windows is not loaded so I can't get a cmd prompt w/admin privileges. With the exception of "ls" every command I enter tells me that cmd doesn't exist. It says use a text editor preferably nano? It doesn't tell you how to open nano...

Thanks, Steve. This is all way over my head. I know nothing at all about Linux. This computer had a dual boot config with windows 11 and Linux. I wanted to replace the original SSD drive with a larger one without losing everything installed on the disk. I cloned the original drive, then...

How do I get rid of Grub and boot to windows? I booted into the BIOS and went to Boot Sequence. I unchecked Ubuntu and left "UEFI: WDC PC SN730... Partition 1" checked. I reordered the Boot Sequence placing UEFI first. Under "View Boot Option" I have "Boot Option Name" UEFI WDC PC SN730...

Everyday I HATE this computer more... I cloned the OS from this Laptop onto an external SSD in a Sabrent enclosure, and I'd like to boot from it while leaving the original SSD inside the Laptop for troubleshooting purposes... Under "BOOT ORDER" UEFI Boot: my options are: Windows Boot Manager...
