You may recall that I posted several times about how I was able to create a dual boot system just by participating in this forum.
Well now that dual boot has become excruciatingly slow especially on the OS10 side where the delay from sign in screen to desktop is on the order of 4 minutes. So my latest idea is to try cloning to an external SSD drive as I have read that may speed things up.
Here's what I have read so far looking around the web. This laptop only has 3 US 2.0 ports no 3.0 ports available. A SATA cable in preferred over a USB cable but the SSD I've ordered is supplied with a USB cable. Cloning software from AOEMI or EaseUS. Any preference here? SSD partitions require "alignment". Huh? What is this? EaseUS has an advanced option optimize for SSD. I guess i'll take a chance on that.
Here's my disk management now. OS7 was decreased to make room for OS10.
It's very possible that this idea may far exceed my abilities but I'm going to try.
Wish me luck!
