   all over but as it is I don't even have a working legacy BIOS departure

   BTW, having made several w10 freshies, I found the USB installers made   
   with the WoeUSB linux utility fairly good AND persistent. The one made

   windows also box) never worked at all, and the ones made with Ventoy got   
   invariably destroyed for each 2nd attempt (see prompt blowup in image).
