Rural based idiot here! You would think at my age and the experience of too many computer systems to name, I would have worked this out, but no such luck
Got sick of Microshite dumping crap on my Dell laptop - currently running Win10 so I decided to try a dual boot solution, After much research, I downloaded:
* tahr-6.0.5_pae-132
* Lick-1.3.4-win32
* EasyBCD 2.4
From what I read, for dual boot, they needed to be on the C drive but I also copied the files to a USB stick as a backup so:
LICK is now in "program files"
Explorer claims EayyBCD is already installed, but it is not listed in "program files"
EasyBCD seems to be installed and I get a dialog box showing the variants listed below
BUT - Intiial boot still loads WIN 10 and can't see any way to load the Puppy
WTF am I doing wrong"

Seemed to install as required and got a "success" message. That was the good news.
