Zorin 16 Pro OS install won't erase the presently installed Zorin 15 OS
by Nosar from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5SAG6)
I just purchased the Zorin 16 Pro and intended to install it in place of my Zorin 15 OS side by side on my HP windows 10 PC. The instructions sat to use the try Zorin OS , click Zorin Menu, System Tools, and then "GParted. In the Partitin list , right-click on the "linux swap" partition and select "Swapoff" and proceeds from there with Right- Click again on the "linux swap" partition and select "Delete" Your current Zorin OS should be present on an "ext4" partition. Richt click on it and select to "Delete" it as well.
Press the button at the top of the app to apply these changes. Then I am to close the GParted app. and then install the new copy of Zorin.
This all went well until I opened the Gparted app. and there was no "linux swap" in the Gparted app. There appears to be an un-updated app. which leaves me with no way to erase the old system. Is there a way this can be done "easily" I'm bumping 80 years old & the technical language to do it without an app. that completes it for me makes my brain rattle any more.
Thanks for your help.
I also have managed to lock myself out of my installed Zorin 15 OS. Perhaps I'm starting to get old?
