But, I do now have a Win 10 Pro USB boot drive creation in progress — I think. See my last post above. With a boot drive to work from, I won’t have have to get, um, more creative, for now, anyway...

If you end up making a Linux stick and need anything else just PM me. But tell you what, in situations like this, a whole second independent stand alone operating system running from an external USB can be priceless to save all your files off your internal main drive... And the Linux is only a little over 2 gigs on the stick. I have saved a lot of Windows files doing this...
