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 ??
