To: Tell It Right

I’ve got an official retail install CD and code for Visio somewhere.

I’ve semi-retiring a Windows 10 laptop. I should put Linux on it and see if I can install that old version of Visio and have it work.

I've got a HP windows 10 laptop that I'm trying to either run from boot cd squashfs file or install Linux xfce as a dual boot. The issue is win10 has UEFI with secure boot enabled.

After spending hours on it I finally got that disabled, but it still won't boot to an SFS image. My goal is installing GNUguitarINUX from a cd from 2011. I know the cd works because I can boot to it from windows 7.

According to what I've heard from Puppy Linux folks I need to run a windows program called LICK on installation of the image in win10. If anyone is interested, I'll update as it goes.
