After looking into all of that, it is useless, no real info on how to get it going,
just deleted QEMU-KVM and will just reboot the laptop into the MS Win10 that is on the primary SSD.

I only need it once a year for TurboTax, not worth my time to go thru all of that, just to use it once in a while.

There was someone saying it kept destroying itself and everything else on a disk (October 2018).
:lol:

I laughed and laughed, but its a real shame that this forum does not permit a "thumbs-up" to thank people for their remarks.
