Later, I would feel that Parted Magic was better (albeit not free), insofar as it included a file browser, web browser, and other tools in addition to the GParted partition manager. Here, I chose MiniTool Partition Wizard, though others installed on my YUMI multiboot flash drive would also have done the job. The other postВ lists the partitions I wanted on the AcerвЂ™s M.2 SSD.В To create those partitions, I had to boot the Acer with a program capable of creating partitions. In other words, proceed at your own risk.

If something here makes no sense, the reason may be that (a) it makes no sense or (b) it depends upon some prior procedure or explanation found in the other post. Given that dour impression of this mighty labor, it goes without saying that I have not attempted to clarify references and elaborate on cryptic remarks.

Or, failing that, at least future historians may have a laugh at the primitive nature of this effort, of the software and hardware involved, and at the limitations of the human mind that would generate such folly. All we have here is a conglomeration of troubleshooting attempts that may prove vaguely informative for some poor soul, arriving here through some confused Google search.

Honestly, I was trying to record what was happening, but Windows 10 and the Acer, combined, were so damned ornery as to frustrate any reasonable attempt to work through problems in an organized fashion. That is, I have no idea what I have written here. Because this post is the very home of forlorn and an absolute fount of inspiration for wiseassedness. I hope nobody ever has to read this post, in a forlorn search for answers or even in a wise-assed attempt to find me making mistakes. (Note that there may be good solutions among the myriad approaches that others have taken.) (Later, without reviewing this post in detail, I wondered if a simple dd command might have provided a superior solution.) This post records most if not all of the steps I went through, in that process, before finally giving up. This turned out to be The Impossible Dream. The task at hand was to transfer the original Windows 10 installation from the stock 1TB hard disk drive (HDD) to the newly installed M.2 solid state drive (SSD).

As described in another post, I was attempting to customize and configure anВ Acer Aspire 5 A515-51-563W laptop.
