@about formatting problem: I solved it yesterday. Now I'm happy user of puppy.

So your answer to the question about making a save is:

I don't know what I've chosen.

So do a shutdown and tell me if you get asked to make a save?

Now, I don't receive any questions during shutdown.

@bigpup Are you saying you are not getting asked to make a save the first time you do a normal shutdown? -> I don't know what I've chosen. The fact is that Puppy doesn't save and then load state of the system automatically. So my questions are: - where can I change it to make these processes ...

You should get asked to make a save file when you do the first normal shutdown.
menu -> Exit -> Shut Down
Are you being asked?
If yes.
Did you make a save file?

If not... what should I do?

Hm. Can I hijack this topic?

Are there any programs to install SliTaz and TinyCore alongside Win10 UEFI as smoothly as Lick enables that for Puppy?

Their forums are almost abandoned.

Re: Installing Puppy alongside Win10 on X131e

I fiddled with fossapup64-9.5.iso and bionicpup64-8.0-uefi.iso.

"BIOS" (UEFI?!) is very limited on this setup. I can:
- select boot device
- change boot options
- delete boot option
- boot from file
Nothing more.
