I found it helpful just to write out the information.</div><div><br></div><div>So after a lot of web searching, I ordered a new Lenovo laptop from newEgg. AMD Ryzen processor. I checked the exact model of CPU and graphics against AMD web-site.</div><div><br></div><div>It has a 2.5" internal SATA. After making sure it is in working order, I will carefully remove many small screws and remove the harddrive and install the drive that has been an external drive to run Linux on other laptop. Then I will have one laptop that starts as Win10 for those "special" activities. And another laptop that just boots from internal drive with Linux, and an "spare" drive with Win10.</div><div><br></div><div>And going back to email thread of many months ago, the install will be Debian Stable.</div><div><br></div><div>Lastly, install and test diagnostic utilities. <br></div></div></body></html>
