My apologies, just getting into Linux and learning my way around. I will boot into it and try to get a copy of the fstab file to upload after a work project is done in Windows. For now, here is a screenshot of diskmgmt from Win10.

Disk0-Windows 10 NVME with  C:/ (win install) and E   (home dir)

Disk 1-Mint Linux NVME 

Disk2-Work storage K:/

I'm adding disk1 to my VM using the entire drive (have also tried just the root and home directories by using the select partition option)
