Interesting that those drives listed are all 128 GB, yet Windows Disk Management reports this Samsung 256 GB drive is healthy, reports full capacity, and copy / paste operations to / from it (or opening files on it) work fine.

I’m almost tempted to copy / paste the entire contents of the C: drive over to the M.2 drive just to see if any errors crop up, even though I know the OS won’t boot correctly.

But, if I’m gonna do THAT, I might as well see if I can extract the Windows product key and then try to download & install a new copy of the OS from Microsoft onmto the M.2 drive.

Thanks for the info.!

If the thing shipped with 7 or 10, it is not necessary to extract the product key. It’s in the system’s firmware and Windows will recognize it.

Is there some reason you don’t want to do a fresh install of 10?

Also, the N22 is a slightly glorified ChromeBook - in fact, they sell a version of it as a ChromeBook. It’s not great; personally I’d replace it with something else.
