My older Aspire V Nitro (AVN) was playing-up (battery wouldn't charge, showed blank screen coming out of sleep & r/hand speaker was starting to crack up). Because I'd started carting it around with me (due to 3 burglary attempts on my home) I took a look inside to see whether something had been dislodged or whatever. Unfortunately, when disconnecting wiring from the rear header, the header broke off from the motherboard due to v tight connection - oh dear - I gave up on bothering to repair and I'm typing this on my new (refurbished) Nitro 5.
However, Nitro 5 was advertised as a dual drive (SSD + HDD), but what turned up was laptop with just an HDD. Rather than send it back (and fore-go the considerable refurb' saving), I came to a deal with supplier for partial refund.
I'm now planning to install the AVN's SSD in the Nitro 5. Should be easy right ? Not !! Quite a few questions with regard to, but one at a time ...
First question: I have 4 partitions on the Nitro 5 HDD (according to MiniTool Part' Wizard) - they are ESP, (Other), C:Acer, Recovery. The (Other) partition is 16MB and is empty: can I delete/ignore this when I'm doing a Nitro 5 system backup for transfer to the SSD ??
