One on a Virtual Machine inside windows 7 , went well, all data from previous test went into new version 10240. Second on a Windows (Vista) machine with Linux dual boot. Previously the older test build loaded but did not 'crush' GRUB, as GRUB and Linux on second hard disk which was usable for Linux and vista by using live CD "Supergrub" which would allow the Linux and Vista to load. The Win 10 boot screen showed the choice page with a non operative second OS. (first hard disk old Win loader changed) I have not tried build 10240 on this second hard disc as it now demands older Windows 7, 8, 8.1 or key. -- regards Eion MacDonald -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
