Or stick with Windows 7. XP also works very well.

Blaspheme. How could you suggest such a socially incorrect heretical concept?

I have realized the big obstacle holding back adopting Linux are those four letters “CMOS”. No one trusts themselves to go reset their boot order to boot from USB first. And now days PC manufacturers have thrown as many road blocks they can into allowing an alternative OS to boot. Now you have to change three or four different CMOS settings to allow booting an alternative from USB. I think MS is paying them to do this.

And this will also be an issue with the concept in this post. You first have to set the CMOS boot order to boot from an external USB first.

YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP!

Kicked Microsoft out of my house more than 5 years ago now. It's been so long I'm not really sure how long it's been anymore.

No more viruses/malware/trojans, better security, runs awesome on my 12+ year old FX8350 and on my newest AMD & Intel machines here @ home.

I have one Windows10 VM for work/amateur radio related stuff. Beyond that, Ubuntu Linux all the way.

I hope we are allowed to disagree. But thank God for such tools and options to be used for good.
