I am in the basement so my internet has not been super fast or reliable for some time, especially since their is concrete in the floors (my ceiling) and the wifi router was upstairs.
Just hooked up instead today to some coax cables that were already in the house and running a mocha connection...

So i would not suggest deleting any partitions created by windows. I believe the efi ledger is requied to boot properly and the recovery partition is self explanatory. As for backup its a good idea to have a backup before extending the partition in case aomething goes wrong but simply extending...

1 in 5 million would be a full scale S21 miner or similar with 200TH/s. Yeah for sure it's mostly for fun.
This is my newest device which has 4 of the same chips on a single board and the display is a lot bigger with lots of cool stats.
Each block is like 10 minutes and the odds are a lot lower than 1 in 5 million per block . I have a few extra devices now and have 16TH / s and the odds per block are as follow for the current network difficulty:
Chance per block: 1 in 69,673,750
Chance per day: 1 in 483,845
Time estimate...
