So, I'm still not clear on what I have, exactly. Is my recovery in C:, in the 3rd partition, both, or neither? How can I tell? Also, can the 3rd partition be safely removed, so I can run mbr2gpt...
zbook, thank you for the greater insight. I performed the in-place upgrade repair through to successful completion with no discernible results...

Forgive my ignorance. I never did master Windows as a SysEng.
1. What is in partition 3, then? Why did the Win10 upgrade create it?
2. What will an in place upgrade repair do? Is that the same...
I'm not sure why anything from Hibernate would've been present during this troubleshooting. I used powercfg /hibernate off a couple of weeks ago, before I even upgraded to Win10, to remove...

NavyLCDR, I tried something similar to your suggestion. Since my boot disk already has 3 partitions on it, it would not let me create a 4th of just 100MB, since that would've left a 5th partition of...
NavyLCDR, is that method lossless? Will it wipe out my present boot disk or will it preserve it? I just got done upgrading this from Win7 to Win10 without data loss.

Item "Intel Volume0_SSD_Boot", a RAID1 of 2 Samsung 1TB SSDs, does not appear in the BIOS boot options menu, but it does appear in the F8 boot options menu. As such, every reboot requires manual...
Volume{596b4d79-6fde-11ec-89b4-d7eca7e6ee00} was a faulty SD card I had mounted as volume6. I discovered the fault last night and removed it.
