Thanks, all, Patrick:
you don't need linux for imagewriter, there is a windoz version: https://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/
Thanks, I'll use that as my next try. jdd:
somebody should scan the wiki to fix it, there are too many obsolete info there
I'm not experienced enough (on windows side) to do it
Nor am I, on any side. I volunteered a few years ago to help in the rebuilding of the wiki, but all I could really contribute was a bit of language adjustment. I've been a suse user since the mid-90's, but only as a (fairly sophisticated) end user. As you see, I still have to get help even to install if the slightest thing goes wrong. Carl: Yes, I bought this laptop in December 2012, just after it went out of production (you can get really good deals that way), and found all those comments. Apparently my machine wasn't affected because, as I said, until I went from W7 to W10 a couple of years ago, I had suse running in a dual-boot configuration. Carlos:
Notice that M$ now recommends against the use of antivirus on W10.
Yes, I've seen those comments, which come across to me as pushing their own security facilities, rather than as denying others' (usually much better) qualities. The only problem I've ever had came when MS started downloading silently W10 updates and waiting for me to reboot. Actually, now that I think about it, I believe that's my own fault: I got tired of W10 reminding me several times a day to reboot and silenced the notification.
Are you installing Windows from scratch now? Take the opportunity to install leaving free partition space for Linux on the disk.
Already done. That's why this whole discussion is going on. :-) jp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
