[Lots deleted.]

  I think the answer to Lawrence's claim got lost in your elaborate
details.

  So *how many* reboots are there actually during an install?

  I haven't experienced anything over only *two*, for Windows 10.
Windows 11 was only one, but that was an 'install' from a new preloaded
laptop, so probably more a 'setup' than an install.

  Anyway, two is quite a bit less than Lawrence's "about 5 times".

  Not that a few reboots during an *install* are anything to get one's
knickers in a twist, but apparently some knickers get twisted rather
easily.
