However, I couldn't disable "Secure Boot", because I can't find such a switch in the BIOS settings of this machine. That's why I abandoned my original plan for a dual- boot setup on the hard drive and decided to use a live USB instead.
Yes, that's correct. You don't need to disable it when booting from the USB drive. Sorry.
Now, how do I make "Save Changes" the default boot option on a UEFI machine?
In line
468 copy your changes= parm that you have in line
470 to it. Thus you will have:
Code: Select all
options "changes=UUID:E8FB-6830/mysave.dat"
A negative to this approach is if you need to run an Always Fresh option you may need to remove the change. But not sure about that.

--> Can anyone explain why there is no windows 9? <--
I'm not sure if you're expecting an answer, howsoever:
I have heard they did not use the No.9 because they had the 9x numbering back in the Days.
(win 95 - 98)..might be true or not.

Ed, thanks a lot for your help. I changed line 468 and I'm all good.
