    Hi Brink,

    yep,,i did purchase a Retail copy with USB stick [guys at store tried to tell me i could download for free,
    but I wanted an official Installer, and because i also heard that win 10 was going to be the last windows release]
    Thnx for the reply,
    wow,that advanced startup options link was a great read!!, that shortcut might come in handy someday!
    Thnx!
