    Have you ever booted from a DVD before?? Just wondering if that computer can boot from a DVD ....
    Also thought you were going to buy a different USB stick ...all you need is one 8GB stick ....cost might be 10 bucks ...

    Hi again OldMike65, I have just managed to get it to boot from the DVD. I just kept hitting the F12 key and a message popped up saying 'Hit any key to boot from CD/DVD' I did another clean install but now I get a screen come up that says 'Choose an Operating System' and underneath that are two boxes, one says Windows 10 on Volume 2 and the other just says Windows.
    I've never had that before, any ideas what is going on there?
    I will pop to the computer shop tomorrow for a new USB stick.
