What? No, this is a brand new laptop. I'm perfectly happy to lose
Windows completely off it. I just thought it might be useful to have a
bootable Window machine for some purposes.

BTW rather unexpectedly gparted failed to resize the NTFS partition.
"ntfsresize -i -f -v /dev/nvme0n1p3" failed. gparted then crashed
trying to show me the results, so I was unable to see the reasons for
the failure. Eventually it crashed. A second attempt went the same way.
So I think I will just install over Windows.

Regards, K.
