I figured it was something like that, couldn't remember exactly what to
turn off. I read somewhere about turning off fast boot too..

yup, done that many times:)
Since this is a Dell, I called to ask about the windows 10 upgrade. They
said that would not affect the restore, which would still take it back
to windows 8.1, and if I ever need it, I can always call Dell & get the
W8.1 restore CD..
new CPU should be here tomorrow... full weekend:)
