Thanks. And good luck :)Glasskuter, Dru2 and all others, I really appreciate your patience with me and all the great in-depth advice you've given me on my upgrade. I will close this thread with a great deal more confidence as I go forward. I am not in a hurry to get Windows 11 installed as I would like to investigate all the details that are of interest to me and my needs before I make that change. Some of the tools that you have introduced me to(Macrium, GPU-Z, MBR2GPT, etc) will be very useful in my next few re-builds. So thanks again and consider this thread Closed.

And again, if you're going to move to Windows 11 at a later date, you might consider a clean install and start fresh. You can just do an upgrade and keep your personal settings and programs, but if your current OS is acting up anyway, a clean install provides a fresh start.
And don't overthink things - the Media Creation Tool is simple and quick. Just something to think about. Good luck :)
