   That confused me. A bit of other advice. If you have started the process    
   do not whatever you do press cancel. I did and totally screwed up my    
   Windows operating system and it has taken me more than a week to get it    
   back to how I like it. My problem is I need Windows to earn my living    
   and I haven't had the courage to try again.
