Where do you want to go today?™️ 

Some of the MS Answers suggestions worked, some didn't. "bootrec /fixboot" gave "Access is denied" for example.

But when it was done, the new SSD booted all the way. Now on every boot, it stops to ask which OS I want to boot: "Windows 10" or "Windows 10".

... I have to start over from cloning the full SSD again, don't I.

@atax1a I've lost the ability to tell for certain, but it seems possible.

- Clone dangerously full Win10 SSD to 8X larger SSD.

- Remove full SSD, install big SSD.
+ Win10 boots normally.

- Install full SSD for use as extra storage.
+ Win10 boots normally from big SSD.

- Clean up data, fix up system, update apps.
+ At some point, Win10 boots from full SSD instead.

- Remove full SSD, leave big SSD in.
+ "RECOVERY

Oh, Magic 8-Ball, why is my customer not receiving that important email from Too Big To Fail Dot Com outsourcing mail delivery to Microsoft?

I can't wait for the day when the first things "rms" and "esr" universally conjure up in computer software are "Remote Management Software" and "Extended Support Release."

i think if as something as big as the Major League Baseball team Cleveland Guardians can change their name an image, there is no reason why The Second-rate Alternative To Adobe Photoshop can't

Do not try to mock the cringe. That's impossible.

Instead, only try to realize the truth: There is no cringe.

Then you will see it is noy the cringe that you mock, it is only yourself.

did some light digging in discmaster as @textfiles recently suggested and found these spiffy #PenPlotter icons from a 1996 SiliconGraphics IRIX install disc:

every day we allow the abusive shitstains like richard matthew stallman or eric fucking raymond stay around or, goddess forbid, direct our communities, we're losing talented people who are driven away by the acceptance of their behaviour.

Not much worse than getting home to find out my home ISP's out. The only thing I can think of that is, greeted me Friday night.

I wish the ISP I work for could serve my home. Instead, my only options are a 4G on the edge of a shadow, a 5G that wants me to pay a $60/mo surcharge for a phone I don't need, fiber that wants me to pay a $60/mo surcharge for a phone I don't need, a satellite ISP so draconian you can't update Windows, & a techbro satellite angering the world's astronomers.
