I could read it fine, so I backed up my files, but... something messed up the UEFI boot, and when I tried a fresh install, it failed. So I took the laptop apart and installed one of my backup drives and did a fresh install. I had to. > Well you're long overdue for a fresh installation :) > I'm always reluctant to upgrade let alone a fresh installation. Both involve dealing with migrating configurations, and dealing with the features I liked, that would now, no longer be available. The fresh installation is all of the above plus finding where all the apps hide their configs and data, and migrating them to the new install. That used to involve a 2nd disk drive, but now, these new laptops no longer have easily accessible drives, and that just makes it all the more difficult and tedious. P.S. Now that I have the new install, I'm seeing that my CPU fan is no longer spinning. The Dell/BIOS test program can control the fan, but Fedora doesn't. I have another thread going on that discussion. Thanks for your help Fulko
