Re: TPM 2.0 and what it is?

Re: How migrate all the email from Thunderbird WIN to LM device.
in most cases, the act of entering the eMail & pwd into T/bird is enough for the T/bird program to sync with the eMail server and all of the existing eMails will be downloaded. in some cases, several years of eMails are imported, and you then have to Delete them, yet again. it's only if this sce...

as this option, allows files to / from other PCs as well. . .

Re: Dual boot, Remove Windows, Recover Harddrive Space
you could even, just leave the windows system, as is,
but, shrink it's C: drive, back to something that is 10% larger than it's file system.
and recover that drive space, for an expansion into the LinuxMint Cinnamon system.

Re: How long have you been using Linux ?
mostly this side of Y2K
it was with Mandriva / Mandrake, from some UK magazine.
then onto Ubuntu with all of those delivered disks, of theirs
Finally onto this LinuxMint System,
maybe, around 16 years, in this new year.

Re: Want my windows 8.1 Back
there is No repair solution, here.
you will have to erase that D: (ext4) partition - from the installer,
and then format it to NTFS and let the windows installer do the rest.
