Good question, Alice. I guess I need to go back to trying the upgrade
again on my new-to-me-but-still-pretty-old laptop, where it failed a week
or so ago. If that works I'll be slightly less paranoid about trying it
on my main desktop box, which I definitely do NOT want to screw up.
Or maybe plug in a 1tb usb drive and install on it and see what happens.
