    Please edit your question and show us the actual command output. It is very hard to follow when you describe the output but don't show it. Are you sure you're not confusing drives_with _partitions here? Commented Feb 15 at 13:28
  • @terdon It is difficult to do this because I am typing on Computer#1 and Computer#2 does not have Internet. I used the "copytoram" option for SystemRescue and I removed the USB stick. I typed lsblk -a -o name,label,size,fstype,model, which results in 3 lines of output, one of which is a header row. I don't see how it adds much to my question, but I will edit my question and manually type the other two rows. Commented Feb 15 at 13:52
  • Even a screenshot would be helpful. Take a picture using your phone. As an aside, you don't need to mess around with dd which is very hard to use and easy to get wrong. See dd vs cat -- is dd still relevant these days?. Commented Feb 15 at 13:55

    @frostschutz In dmesg I found a couple of lines that said "Found 1 remapped NVMe devices", "Switch your BIOS from RAID to AHCI mode to use them". I am going to try that, and report back whether it corrects the problem. Commented Feb 15 at 15:14

    You cannot move Windows from one computer to another. Product key now in UEFI/BIOS support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/… Dell replaced Motherboard on my laptop. They must not have updated product key. Dual boot install of Kubuntu worked, but Windows nor any Windows repairs worked. Only fix was the Dell image which restored system to as purchased, but erased my Kubuntu. But Kubuntu was a copy of desktop so no real loss. Use external SSD no which is another copy of desktop.
