Fingers crossed

yep, checked and theyre all off

yep, seem to be. i have integrated graphics since its a laptop but seems to be all working

got cinnamon running and looking good! thank you so much for all the help.. atleast i have linuc running and this will give me a chance to see what apps i like and want to use when i get mint going.. does this mean mint will work eventually?

my bad i read this wrong,, yes windows is on the smaller drive and works.. grub works too. i can select both and they both work

im not sure why its not showing.. really strange.. 1: i did clone it to the bigger drive but had some issues with the drive being seen as primary drive 2: it worked but wouldnt boot off of it 3: my plan is to just get linux working on the bigger drive independent to windows

So i installed ubuntu 24.4 and its working on the ssd.. so i just saw your post and downloaded ubuntu cinnamon the one you recommended and for some reason its not picking up that drive... is it because ubuntu is installed on it ?

So good news, I downloaded Ubuntu 24.4 and it kicks up the drive !!! I don't know how or why but I'll take it.. my question is, if I install it can I change it to cinnamon until Linux mint get it working ?

Awesome, so ive managed to clone the drive but when i boot windows it automatically names it the d drive instead of the c drive because c already exists.. ( the old drive).. how do i go about setup after the cloning if anyone can help ?

just not sure how to clone windows and erase the other drive.. or if possible install windows 11 on the other drive with the bios installer.. is that possible ? Also i saw this patch and was wondering if it is possible to use someway with mint ?

no worries at all, you all hove done way too much for me.. i just gotta figure out how to clone windows to the new drive and then back onto the old one when its supported

so right now im just currently stuck on what to do either.. 1: clone windows to bigger drive and use smaller for linux until the drive is supported and switch back over 2: wait until it is supported however long that may be

just tried it, doesn't show sadly

i reformatted and it shows up like this in windows, is this correct or should the drive be unformatted?

i just did that and just cleaned it.. was i supposed to do any other commands apart from clean ?
