UEFI is a collaberation between RED HAT LINUX and Microsoft so stop blaming just Windows.

Cool! I've never been officially a fan of anything.

I just don't like uefi. It's annoying. And it is enterprise driven. And i am a hobbyist.
And another thing: win10 is noticably slower and less productive then any of the puppies on the same machine. :P

Nothing unusual there.
Even enterprises are not happy about it.

I have reverted and removed Win 10 and use Win 7 still - my business is PC support and most of my customers use Windows software so I have to have it. I refuse to support Windows 10 though.

We all love and use puppy linux - no doubt about that :-)
And I do agree that win10 is slower than puppy - in use - BUT if u have ssd drive and at least 4gb ram... win10 works pretty good and fast.

I use puppy and windows sort of 50/50 - Would like to use puppy all the time but theres still stuff I need windows for - like playing games and some apps.

BUT - we're forgetting the original poster here :-)
How did it go jmaymig? Did you manage to boot your machine with puppy?
Anything we can do to help?
