So, just to summarize all that:
Do I need to bring over partition 2 from Disk 3 to Disk 2?
It's not a "big deal", I suppose, as it's only 16 MB of storage. It just "looks" more complicated to have it there. ;-)
Thanks in advance, All!

One other question: Once the cloning process is complete, will Disk 2 still have roughly 209 GB of unallocated space on it?

I’ll be out for a short while. Gotta chop, well, saw up, a large branch that came down a couple days ago, and get it out of our ditch. And maybe get around to breakfast!

I had your whole vanity translated into Greek, and it still doesn’t make any sense.

I tried cloning years ago ,big fail , LOL Now I do fresh install on new SSD and I use an ssd external hard drive enclosure for the old drive and move what a I want ,LOL
To: Laslo Fripp
I know the feeling. Despite the amount of effort I put into managing my family’s computers, I don’t think I know even 10% of what I wish I did.
And then there’s understanding my dear wife, even after 24 + years of being married...
Anyway, outta here for a bit.

You need a virtual identical drive to close to. It's usually better, albeit slower, to perform a system backup and then perform a system recovery on the new drive (using a flash drive to boot up the recovery software).

Why don’t you join a computer hobbyist group on meetup? We have a country to save and you are trying to squeeze a few more years out of a worthless computer.

Yes. Bring over all the partitions. Even though not formatted windows has requirements you may not be aware of. But why are you cloning a solid state drive to another? Solid state drives have no moving parts and will outlast you. Just add the second SSD and use it as your data drive.
