Reporting back!

Gparted and Gnome online account worked!

Thank you!

The personal stuff is backed up to Google Drive so if the laptop dies, nothing happens to them.

I will give g parted a shot too.

I have been deleting stuff for a long time. It is Windows plus very basic apps at this stage. It is a cheap laptop so I don’t want to replace the drive.

I like this idea. Zero partitions and presumably 30GB shared with dual boot into Windows and Mint. I need to read up on this one.

Yeah, the computer’s main use is a printer at this stage and the printer connected to Mint fine. I could probably make the switch as long as the printer works…

I am reading that Google Drive doesn’t have a native Linux app but there are plenty of alternatives and ways to make it work. I guess I will try that as my first option or alternatively offload it all on to a USB stick and transfer it. I could look at sync options as well.

Somewhere in the install process I read 15 GB for Mint and ran with it. It works but nothing can be upgraded.
