@sdetweil Many thanks. Will backup the system before I try.

@DarkV Sorry to bug you again, but there is an update, since you said that my setup in a Hybrid setup, what script do I use? The wifey will kill me if I mess it up and for some reason I cannot backup my M2 Sata drive with Windows 11 as it is not detected, meaning I have one shot to get it right

@sdetweil My image is 112GB (although only 8.4 GB is used) as I used Win32 disc imager software. If you still want me to upload let me know although I don’t know a site that will allow a file that large.

@sdetweil The Image was my previous install I made in February when I migrated from SD to M2 SSD. So an older version of what I am using now.
I am using PI4.

@sdetweil No worries, thanks you for your time

@sdetweil I did this
sudo apt-get remove nodejs npm -y
hash -r
which node
which n

if which n response with empty then do

sudo apt-get install n

once n responds then

sudo n 20.8.0 --arch armv7l
hash -r
node -v

Then both scripts and it went through!

@sdetweil I don’t know what happened, but the reply is above. Many thanks

@sdetweil All is OK. I am so grateful for all of your assistance. In my opinion, what you performed was alchemy or witchcraft. I’ve been attempting to identify the problem and have made multiple unsuccessful attempts. An old picture I had from a few months ago was my saviour. My wife was becoming tired of my futile attempts at updating.
You have brought me happiness and protected me from madness. That’s a significant victory.
