Yikes.
I'm enough into retro gaming to have purchased the NES mini, the SNES mini, and the C64 mini, but after watching these videos I think it'll all come to a screeching halt right here. Clearly, there's nothing else worth getting even on the cheap.

and some of the listings come back referencing: "answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows" just move along, nothing useful here, nothing to see.
I'm trying to get a new SSD to boot, and the answer 80% of the time is a reinstall. I know the disk is good. I know the Windows installation on it is good. All I need to do is fix the UEFI configuration, which borders on black magic. Mind you, some of the typical commands don't work on certain Windows 10 builds (1709 in particular), just to flavor things.
The mind boggling thing is that Microsoft is now pushing Windows as a service.

It's like the Windows moderators are in a race to the bottom of the dumbest answer.

You missed a bit.
Has there ever been an instance where their advice to run the sysfile checker and perform a clean boot has fixed anything?
If so, it's probably just network stuff, because windows has always been cr@p at accepting network configuration changes without a reboot -- so the only "error" a reboot "fixes" is about windows' crapitude at networking.

You might get away without disabling efi/uefi, if you allow legacy boot options.
If the HDD being replaced uses uefi, disabling it might cause problems.

Well as some have alluded to, it is a UEFI disk clone. I had not thought to just chunk UEFI altogether, as I just don't need it. It's the bride's laptop, and one Christmas gift was moving her to a SSD. I don't even know why laptop makers bother with spinners these days... that's another subject.

And the other 20% of the time it's "create a new user profile".
Because it's not as if there's anything important associated with your Microsoft account, is it?

The guy you want to blame is called Ken Kocienda, apparently: I invented autocorrect[^] though MS had it in Word in the 1990s, long before Apple developed the iPhony.

I wonder what autocorrect tried to change his name to, until he (probably) decided to just hardcode a special case for it...

I liked it enough to let youtube run through some of their other tunes, which I also liked, then along came this outstanding prog track!
