While I am quite happy with Ubuntu, my current OS of choice, I am getting rather out of touch with Windows - and they are threatening us with upgrades at the office.

at least I did not part with any cash and it is only a preview - but you would have hoped it could find all its installation files in the .ISO image

and come back to this...
