The Dell Repair Software was telling me there was no restore point to go back to, which seems impossible, as I'd created one manually about 2 months prior, and there should have been even earlier ones, too.

I am sorry. I sent out a response without noticing this.

System recovery is reliably unreliable. Here is a more lengthy and thorough technique from Grok:

One thought occurred to me just now:

If I wanted to add dual boot capability to the Win 11 Pro desktop machine later, and have it boot off that new SSD that I need to initialize, would I likely be best off to set some space aside “unallocated” as a future home for that (Linux) OS? Then, I should look up the drive size requirement(s) for various versions of Linux?
