HI Vit, thank you for the reply. I jumped into this thinking the PC had the Legacy option but was mistaken so I don't have the dual boot option available after all. I got to step 3 but then wasn't able to find a way to mount it in the AppVM to view it? I was able to view everything on that partition but the only way I could figure it out was to install Disks application in the personal VM but everything's there. I have no doubt I'll be back with other issues, would like to move over to this but a steep learning curve.
