(I see only Win 11 pro, Win 10 pro, Win 11 home, and Ubuntu Linux.) At least HP stopped referring to "FreeDOS 3.0" on their website. I had sent them a "cease and desist" letter about that, when you originally mentioned it. We don't have a FreeDOS "3.0" distribution, so I said HP needed to stop confusing users with that version label. They changed all references from "FreeDOS 3.0" to just "FreeDOS" after I sent the letter. Jim
