Carl:
I just fired up an old Windows 10 box that I turn on every 3 to 4 months to
test my hypothesis. Installed like a hot knife through butter. The only
glitch might be you have to check @ installation of AdoptOpenJDK 13 to have
it modify the JAVA_HOME environment variable. If you miss that (it should
be the default in my opinion) you might/will have a problem with NB (or
anything else java related) finding the JDK/JRE. AdoptOpenJDK DOES have a
JRE/JVM in it.
