    No problem, I show up here almost every day anyway. :) So what I'd do is likely get a 1TB NVMe M.2 SSD. Put it in and clone the HDD to it, then remove the HDD and boot on just the SSD. Once it'd been successful with that you can likely just put the HDD back in, power it back up and then use Disk Management to wipe all the partitions off the HDD then create a single data partition.

    With your processor it supports a single M.2 2280 either SATA3 or NVMe in whatever size your wallet allows. Do you have one already, or did yours come with a HDD?
