   Jeff, for many years I Dual-Booted my Win7 HP 6730b laptop with   
   MageiaLinux Ver 6.   
      
   I'd probably still be on the HP .... except the Win7 started deleting   
   itself .... and I'd already brought this Win 11 Desktop ... so thought I   
   might as well make use of it.   
      
   One day, I'll install MageiaLinux ver 9 .... hopefully before the Devs   
   release MGA v 10 early next year. ;-P
