We have had 2 touchscreens and think it was 2 too many. I couldn't find one without the touch screen and with SSD. It all hinges on making the HDD look smaller before making the recovery disks.īy the way, machine's brand new, not turned on yet. I was hoping I could parition/shrink the HDD, make recovery disks, make any required changes to BIOS etc., unplug the HDD, boot from recovery disks and go from there. I have 2 - M.2 NVMe sockets, so the ssd could be fairly straightforward whichever way it needs to be done. If something like the partition/recovery disk route would work, it would be great. I suppose the easy (and expensive) option would be a 1 TB SSD. I know there is always an alternative to do the win 10 clean install by downloading from their site, make a boot disk, load it in, as an option. There are indications in different forums that this is a way to fit a smaller drive using recovery disks.

It would seem, from what I have found around the net that then the system drive (the existing partitions) to be restored would look like 500GB instead of 1 TB since the new partition would appear as a different drive. My thinking was to add a new partition of 500GB, thereby shrinking the C drive, then making recovery disks.
