UtterDisbelief Goes Small - NUC10 i5 UHD630 32GB

As regards to your files , corrupting... nope .. I used MD5 to check them all, and they were fine.
What I copied was the same checksum, both sides.

Curious. I don't think I offered an MD5 checksum to verify the files. What happens locally, of course, I can't help with.

And, if it was the format of the EFI partition being wrong, then it would not boot the Windows...

Not quite.

Windows does not have the same EFI partition size requirement as macOS does.

It's clearly some incompatibility with the NUC boot.

No evidence of that here, unfortunately. However you have to be careful with the BIOS settings as it was initially tricky to iron-out those for sleep/wake.

anyway ... ill leave it over night, then gradually delete stuff that does not belong in the EFI partition.

Good luck.

Yep... it's not the first clone I have built , this is what is so insane, there is nothing normal about this.
But after 12 hours It's still fine.
I'm going to start to try and clean it up...
I bought the NUC real cheap brand new, from clearance, fully sealed.

I'm going to try and re-install montery over the current montery, see if that blows the cobwebs out...

the EFI partition would normally be named EFI
