Evening Dilwyn, Ah yes, I do recall something about your past problems with Windows! I wasn't aware you had Packard Bell kit though, Curry's "own brand" stuff, or junk as we IT professionals know it. I had one of those briefly some years back. Took it back to PC World as unfit for purpose and got a full refund.
I had a panicked call for help from my brother up in Elgin, back home, as his HP laptop had been upgraded to Windows 10 and now refused to start. He'd managed to brick it! As he didn't have any rescue disc or originals, he was basically "seduced"! That's the joy of having a recovery partition, when the disc is wiped, it's wiped! He ended up buying new laptop which had windows 10 pretty loaded, and when I next get up to Elgin I'll be recycling the HP with Linux Mint! Good luck with your kit!
