   We did a complete reinstall. He wanted to learn how to install it   
   anyway, so I showed him how to create a bootable USB flash drive with   
   Ventoy and did the install. He's got another old laptop at home which he   
   will use to install LM.   
      
   I've got the "original" laptop now, so I can experiment myself. It's   
   weird since it is in Dutch and I'm used to English. I know I can change   
   the language, but it's to help other people, so for now I leave it in   
   Dutch. It's very clear that it is translated by a Hollander, because   
   some words don't sound good to me (Fleming). Changing the  language to   
   Dutch; Flemish, Belgium didn't help.
