Ok weird one.
Fujitsu Stylistic 6012 tablet from 2009. Had a 125gb SSD with Win 7 on it.
I bought a 60gb hard drive for testing. I tried Pepermint Linux wth Gnome desktop. Worked great.
Soooo bought a 512GB Kingston SSD 2.5" SATA. Booted POP OS Linux live boot from DVD-ROM. Partitioned the new Kingston SSD, installed the Pop OS, renooted and...no boot device detected.
Went into the BIOS. The BIOS can't see the SSD!
Rebooted Live boot DVD POP-OS once booted it sees the SSD! Even though the BIOS didn't see it. How's that for weird?

I bought a120GB PNY drive and the BIOS sees it. Not sure if it was a Kingston vs PNY brand issue or a size issue. Made this 2009 table zippy. Currently running POP OS.
I may jump back to Peppermint Linux with GNOME. In my testing it was a little faster.
I also added 8GB of RAM.
