  3. need list of usb bootable Operating Systems

    I am looking for a good list of operating systems you can run from a usb or dvd.

    If not a list, then folks can just post their top picks.

    I want these to run from the usb/dvd without installing on the system or getting in the way of the system that exists on the hard drive.

    Thanks in advance.

    Cannot Pick Internet Explorer 11 as Default Browser

    Hi Hill,

    If I understand you correctly you are willing to change the default web browser to Internet Explorer which is currently Microsoft Edge, correct me if I am wrong. Here are the steps which might help you to set your default apps.

    • Press the Windows key or the start icon at the left bottom.
    • Click on settings.
    • On the settings page click on System.

    • Click on Microsoft Edge which set as default under Web browser.
    • Now you will be able to select Internet Explorer under choose an app.

    Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we will be happy to assist you.

    Regards,
