So, the one additional task before Install is to attempt to clean up the SSD now.
- USB Caddy with SSD plugged in
- Hit the windows key and type "diskma" whilst the Menu is displayed (no need to position cursor anywhere)
- Select the "Create and format hard disk partitions" menu item that appears.
- Maximise the disk management window that appears
- In the bottom half of the window, for the lower of the two disks (The 931.51GB one with a single 200MB "System_drv" partition and lots of unallocated spaces following) select the System_Drv partition, right click on it, and if it isn't greyed out, click "delete volume".
- Once done, or if it is greyed out, you can exit the window, but let me know if you managed to delete it. (if not, we can try again in install)
If it does work, we have a completely clean drive for install, and it may avoid some install-time boot intervention.
