Reinstalling Linux Lite in Dual Boot - LazyGuy - 07-10-2024
Making this thread as told in Previous Thread https://www.linuxliteos.com/forums/sound/newbi-here-needs-help-troubleshooting/#msg62549
I Need to Install LL 6.6 In My Dual Boot System Replacing the LL 7.0 without destroying the Windows Partition.
I Used "Install Alongside Windows" Option to Install LL 7.0 Previously.
For Conveniance sake i have Detached All HDD Physically and now the System Only Has the SSD (500GB) which Houses both OS (Windows 10 and LL 7.0) the SSD is devided nearly in Half for Each OS.
i was told to run these 2 command and post result here..
1-lsblk
2-sudo fdisk -l
Here are the Results....

I Have LL 6.6 Bootable Media Ready (Created with Rufus)
Now i Need to Know how to go about replacing LL 7.0 with LL 6.6 without Formatting the Whole SSD and destroying Windows.
Please Note: That this SSD Only Houses Both OS and related Software and Nothing Else, For all the Downloads i use a Seprate HDD Shared with Windows.
Thank you For Reading And taking time to help.

If you follow the tutorial, take care to select your LL7.0 partition correctly as emphasised in the video.

It Says Loading on top center which quickly disappears.
I installed the LL using the tutorial and it works. now i am trying to install WI-FI usb driver and have forgotten how i did it the first time (currently running net from Bluetooth hotspot). thank you for all the help :021:
Edit: NVM i can modify post now.
