You can get decent ones for <$150 and the upgrade will be like night and day. I would recommend you just remove/disconnect this drive and replace it with an SSD as this is a 2TB drive, I assume its a HDD.Ī 2.5" SATA SSD is what you're looking for. Sda6 this partition most likely contains the windows diagnostic environment Sda5 this partition contains the recovery image for Windows, this is normally accessed by pressing a button during the POST screen, leave it be in case you ever want to go back to windows.
Sda4 this partition might be the dell diagnostic tools, most OEMs have them. Sda3 is the windows partition, if you are going to install linux. Sda2 is some partition microsoft uses, I do not know whats inside it as I never ran Win10 to open the volume. Sda1 is the standard EFI partition, linux can also add files to this so you can leave it be. and life would a lot easier if I could do it via a VM instead of shutdown, reboot, spend 5 min in windows, shutdown, rebooot. Is it possible to start this windows installation in a VMware Player 16 vm? (or some other VM software) I occasionally need to get access to windows.ie I need to start up my win10 install of Thunderbird so I can export my account settings. Linux is on /dev/sdb with Grub installed I would assume on /dev/sda1
I have recently just installed Mint/cinnamon 20.2 on my desktop (absolutely love it btw) I elected for a dual boot configuration just in case since I depend on my home PC for work.
