I have a dual boot laptop and I cloned (Clonezilla) its OS drive (250GB nvme m.2) to a 1TB nvme m.2
After some trials and tribulations, I can boot into both Min Win10.
I discovered that in Mint I can connect to the wireless network but still have no internet. On Win side, everything works fine - get the connection and service.
On the Mint side, the last thing I tried was to turn off power management for the chipset - made no difference.
I have no soft or hard blocks for the wifi or for bluetooth.
If I swap the drives and boot into the original (250GB) Mint, there are no problems with the connection or service.
Any ideas?
