Sounds like an HP with the default built in boot menu/manager. :)
Thank you for your patience. I owe you an apology. It just hits me wrong and drives me crazy when I see folks fighting perpetually to make windows “bearable” for them when it can all just go away with Linux. :)
You don't owe me an apology or anything else. I appreciate the discussion. And I like to pull peoples chains a little also.
I have so much invested in time, money, and energy, that it would be difficult to for me to completely give up Windows. There are many applications and simulator games that I use that have no real equivalent using any build of Linux. And some of the sort of equivalent applications have severe limitations or are so much more difficult to use that I would likely never put in the time required to reach the same level of mastery.
But I have always enjoyed tinkering with just about anything that I have access to. It could be computers, web design, old cars and trucks, airplanes, machinery, home remodeling and repair, or other types of toys or electronics. But fooling with various operating systems has been one of my interests for decades.
I am very surprised at how well Windows 11 is working for me in the Windows To Go configuration using an extremely inexpensive SSD. I also assumed that I was going to need to purchase another license and am very surprised that Microsoft is treating my OEM Windows 10 Pro license as an upgrade when I haven't really upgraded the SSD still installed in the computer. When I log in it microsoft.com it shows the digital license as being Windows 10 Pro when I am using the internal SSD and Windows 11 when I have booted from the external SSD. I am more used to them not doing this type of thing... It kind of helps improve my attitude toward them.
