While I am waiting for CloneZilla to verify an image, I may as well post a note.
It was a decent day. I sold and delivered two refurbished ThinkPad laptops. Local sales. Both people chose Windows, not Linux.
Right now I am upgrading a ThinkPad T420 of a long time customer. Still a good laptop, if a person's needs are not too demanding. Upgraded from 4GB 10600 to 16GB of PC3L 12800. Converted Windows 10 from MBR to GPT partition scheme. Fixed Windows errors with sfc (System File Checker). Now backing everything up with a CloneZilla image before I attempt to upgrade to Windows 11. That way, if something major goes wrong, I can restore it to how it was.
