    If it's an EFI device you can also boot from a flash drive by holding shift as you restart.
    Forgot to try that, but I'm sure I'll have a need pretty soon. I think I installed the Dev Beta instead of regular Winders! Whoops!

    Youse guys are da bomb!

    Since the hard drive was failing, I gave my daughter my working 14" Lenovo to replace this 14" HP.

    I have replaced the hard drive with a new one and installed Windows 10 ???? on it. I think I messed up and installed the Dev Insider Preview. I'll check tomorrow. Right now, I have to find food!

    If I did install a Preview, I'll just use it as a test bed.

    I am marking this one solved!

    Thanks again, guys. You are all most appreciated!

    Today we had blackeyed peas and roasted cabbage wedges for lunch. I took Teresa's lappy with me, put Speccy and Unchecky on it for her, installed her fave browser Chrome (Ugh), and she's a happy camper! She told me she can install the proggies she likes, so I'm off the hook for that!

    Thanks again for all the help!
