N22 specs: Capacity: eMMC: 32 GB/64 GB SSD: 128 GB

I suspect there is a 128 GB limitation in the BIOS/Motherboard for that tiny M.2 board.

Suggest an 128GB or better yet, sell that N22 on Ebay (etc.) and get a laptop that supports windows 11 and much larger storage. Windows 10 is going away.

Right on that limitation. He should get a refurb laptop at Dell. About $300.

Or buy on Ebay. I see loads of great 17.3” laptops of Ebay after Christmas.

Windoz Ten is OUT! All mine use Windows 11.

That interesting: The machine reports the M.2 drive as having its rated 256 GB capacity (minus a bit for the usual overhead), shows it as healthy, and I can move files onto it, view them, etc.* The Macrium Reflect software also reports same for the storage, as does "Disk Management in Windows, with Macrium allowing me to assign partitions / Volumes to fill the 256 GB, etc. It's just that the file verification of the source disc volume C (but not the other small partitions) fails. As if there is something "wrong" about the data on C: specifically, but not on the other eMMC partitions, despite all the disk health checks I've tried so far saying that C: is perfectly fine.

It's just the cloning software that fails, it seems, despite it being fine on several of my other machines.

*However, I've not actually tried putting over 128 GB of files on the M.2 drive while installed in the N22, which is the only home this M.2 has seen. But, again, the source disk and specifically Volume C seems to be the problem for the cloning software.
