I decided to pass my trusty old computer down to my son. Before doing so I decided it needs some cleaning up. It was mostly used for running in Linux in the past years, and Windows 10 was installed just in case. A tiny issue with it, that there is something fishy with this pre-windows… Read More Saga of Installing Windows on Acer TravelMate 8473
