It reccomended a res, but I tried a tad either side of it and that was worse and the 'raster' didn't fit. so, I guess It's okay.- ish
The hello screen is smoke-filled anyway, so that doesn't help.
All in all not too bad but not quite that edge the other one had.
For now, doesn't matter as this little laptop will only be for reading Kindle etc. I see it has a serial port, so may do morse on it.
Now, it has dual boot with the original Vista. That came first obviously. Then I made a partition or three and then dual boot with a legal copy of W7. W10 has gone over that W7.
Question is, can I put the W7 - which has the same key as the 10*, where Vista is now. That would be neat, and this machine would only have one copy of Windows on it. i.e. one Key. The W7 has been the main OS for at least 5 years.
* I see it's the same key from Belarc which by the way, shows the 10 as 8.1 Confused? You will be.
The MS super-computer somewhere in the US will only see that reg key at any one time and one is allowed to go back to the old OS anyway, but in my case I would be hopping to and fro.
Legal issues aside, is it now possible to do a clean install of W7 for the dual boot? i.e. do the first partition last? l see W10 has a nice screen especially for dual booting. Not at bios level now. So, while this is nice, it does mean the OS is more aware of what's going on with dual booting and may object.
I only kept my Vista to help a pal with support over the phone. He now has his own guru, so one is free of that duty. I can see plugging in a clean install where the Vista was might cause all sorts of problems.
