   In a message on Thursday 02-11-16 Jean Parrot said to Holger Granholm:   
      
   GM Jean,   
      
   or should I say GN, because of the time stamp of your msg?   
      
   JP> 	Did you finally get the language changed ?   
      
   No, not yet, but for all programmes I have installed I've chosen english   
   and that works OK. As far as possible, I have installed most programs in   
   another partition than C: but some, for example Opera doesn't give me   
   that choice, but insists on installing only to C:.   
      
   Today I will take a deep dive with my file manager, to try to find out   
   if the US-english package is included. It should be about the same size   
   as the swedish language package.   
      
   If not, I'll have to import it. That's what people tell me to do.   
   I can't ask my GS because he had a colleague to upgrade the machine.   
      
   There's also another problem that I may have to get help with.   
   The machine still insists that my GS has an account, and doesn't allow   
   me to create a folder for "downloaded files", under my name.   
      
   Of course I have set my account to be ADMIN, but apparently my GS's   
   account is above me, :o(   
      
   JP>  The Intel Agent has quit giving me a hard time, nothing that I did,   
   JP> for sure. The BIOS is now accessible and it presents a hot-key combo   
   JP> to go to it but it does not get there.   
      
   Excuse me but I don't know the Intel Agent, and what it's supposed to do   
   Regarding the access to the BIOS in the laptop, I did find the key to   
   get into it, and change settings.   
      
   JP> I will forget all about it and go my merry way. I can select a   
   JP> different booting device and and go my merry way and that is handy   
   JP> when I need to load Acronis to clone this machine.   
      
   I was far-sighted enough to make a recovery USB stick before I started   
   playing with the laptop. Even though TI9 refuses to run under Win10, the   
   recovery stick can be used to make a clone with the Macrium Reflect Free   
   program.   
      
   For normal backups I use the EASEUS backup program. That recovery stick   
   is 8Gb but for a full backup (without compression) of C:, I need 20 Gb   
   today.
