(BTW, I purchased a Galaxy 2, and am learning it. A great toy.)

Could I download a bootable version of Ubuntu, erase Windows 8, and load it into the laptop or should I download a bootable version of Ubuntu and THEN try to erase Windows 8?

How would email work? Would I download some program for it and transfer the settings? Would my email on Vista still work?

Thanks a lot for the expertise. It's invaluable and appreciated.

        Way back when, you had to go into BIOS and change the boot order. - RobVG - 7/4/2013 3:06:51 PM
