Need help with dual boot Windows 10 and LL

Thanks for your words of encouragement

Part of the reason I abandoned trying to get Linux to work was I had a limited time to see if it would boot and work on a modern laptop before the option to return it expired . I looked on the web to see if others had tried but did not find much feedback.

The reason I was looking for a new PC  because I had spent about a month trying to sort  out a problem with a Windows Password lockout . Ended up Reinstalling Win 7 . That messed up booting to LL . Sorted the boot only to find LL would not boot - hung on loading ( container problem ? ) baffling the experts so no solution to repair mine . Needed to reload and set up linux. Then had a problem with my Keyboard - unable to enter  a password then again to verify ( not matching ).

Returning to my old netbook I have fitted a new keyboard . Found a new problem (just now) - if I  hold the netbook by its Left Hand corner  it looses power and shuts down.

Oh well back to using the screwdriver
