I would absolutely have your antivirus off during updates. Especially if you use avira or avast.

Yes, Ubuntu based kernels use GRUB.

Linux Mint loads into a VM as the installer, so you can try it out before you actually install.

Don't be put off by windows updates ...If you can get to win10, you'll be right...

I was out buying food at local store... discovered updates finished downloading, now it has to install them. I forgot about that lol. But it should install them a lot quicker than downloading them.

9 of 186 so far.

Poca from my HELP BLUE SCREEN ERROR thread from ages ago Wrote:If you don't have any decent antivirus software, I advise the free Avira... av-comparatives claims that it's the best of the free ones.

Ahhhh it was Avira. I thought it was Avast.

Probably Avira. It's decent, but ad-laden for the free version.

It has known issues with Windows Installers.
