All great news! Thanks for the helpful guidance.
Thanks for these.
My wife keeps a couple of USB backup drives, both of which are NTFS.
With respect to continuing future use of these USB drives as backups:

Holger, thanks for your most welcome information.
She uses gmail so it sounds from yours that this will also not be an issue?
Some years ago I set up an Ubuntu-Mate computer for my wife, hoping to provide her with as much native protection from scammers, etc as possible. She has been happily using it, but for a good reason...
Windows allow user to hover over folder name and see it's size. Does Ubuntu have a GUI which provides quick way to determine folder sizes?
Thanks for yours. My comments between yours.
My wife has been using two Toshiba portable USB drives to back up her Ubuntu Mate 18.04 desktop and a win10 computer that she also uses. One is a 2T, the other is a 1T. She just added a 5T WD My...
Stumbled across this on YouTube.
sudo apt-get install hplip-gui
Magic! Worked a charm on the printer and all is good.
Thanks and I agree. In fact I did a clean install. Guess my "upgraded" was confusing. Meant it as going to a newer version.
Just upgraded from UM 16.04 (under which I had this printer installed) to UM 18.04.1. Have tried to reinstall the printer using Wifi and ethernet. It seems to find the printer, but after many...
I had been trying to boot by selecting devices. Went into boot order, re-ordered everything properly, and it booted from the USB stick as desired, found the SSD and I am installing over a previous...
Hardware: HP Pavilion P7-1000 with 8GB RAM
I am upgrading my wife's Ubuntu MATE 16.04 to 18.04.1. Just to run a "trial" install, I disconnected the existing SSD, connected a 500GB HDD and did a...
A new install on the new SSD is almost certainly safer for me. Should I disconnect the HDD when doing the install (not sure quite how the dual boot gets set up)? Thanks.
Not sure whether this is primarily software or hardware, so if it needs moving, please suggest where.
I recently installed Ubuntu MATE 18.04.1 onto an older 120GB SSD and it boots up and generally...
OK, here is output with Wifi disabled

Sometimes it is good to sleep on a problem. It occurred to me that there was an older version of Ubuntu (maybe 12.04 or possibly even earlier) on this 500GB HDD (not the previous 1TB HDD), anyway...
I think I now understand that I should have done that without the Wifi adapter in place, and I will certainly do that just as soon as I get past my next possible self-administered shot in the foot.

No, ethernet is still the issue, thanks.
Did you see the second section: "Ethernet adapter Ethernet"?
Is this not the relevant bit? Or are you referring to something else?

mitesh.agrwl, thanks for yours. Before addressing the content, I want to mention that when this computer (dual) boots into Win 10, the ethernet works fine with the existing cable. Also I have tried...
Here is the output requested by mitesh.agrwl:

Dennis, Big thank you. Again you have nailed it.

This just keeps careening around. Decided to try a SVGA cable and it works fine. Gets video to monitor, so looks like either the video card DVI circuit, the DVI cable, or the DVI port/circuit in the...
The Fu, Seems that if I had eth connectivity in a Windows boot up every time, but never in Ubuntu, it would be highly co-incidental. But maybe this is the underlying issue. I do have a PSU tester and...
