Right, I saw a little info. on workarounds, but am not sure if those are needed each time one does an update? Or does that apply only to the initial OS install?
If nothing else I’m hoping to gleen enough info. here to better ask a refurbisher or two (those who’ll answer questions) a couple simple / pointed questions. Since I’ll be looking for a capable machine with a 12” (approx.) screen anyway, to replace the netbook wifey is making off with. (She’ll be gone well over a month, so, this is a “good time” to get a more capable travel / compact machine for me, if I can hold cost down. Upgrades on our desktops where practical would be great, but only after I establish the practicality of it — possibly messing up machines in use and long optimized is more “risky” in my view.)
It only applies to the initial install. Afterward updates install without any
difference, just the same. It doesn't affect updates in any way.
