Don't worry mate, most of us understood perfectly well what you were
asking. I just trialed a query on booting in UEFI mode and a useful
article was listed in response. Obviously comparable with Cortana or
even Google in what the answer might be but more fun to use.


Thanks for that, pal.
I've tried the link through Firefox, Internet Explorer, Chrome and
Safari; all from Win7 64bit.
The first three find the page, but nothing is clickable on it; and I've
moved the cursor all over it, no change at all from usual cursor to hand
icon.


You do realize that this is a chat-style UI, don't you?

At the bottom of the page, there is a - rather crummy - message
composition box with the usual 'paper aeroplane' send button.

If you use chat-style ('instant messaging') apps like WhatsApp, you'll
recognize the UI-style they use.

BTW, I asked "How to disable Windows 10 updates?". Next thing I saw
that CNN reported that a server-farm in Redmond went up in flames. :-)

Ah, got it. Ha, ha, ha. It only opens when you type something in the "eg
Replace password" box.

That's the first time I've ever come across that.
