windows 10 has a bug where on a specific system i used, when i used a program to write an image to a 3.5 inch floppy for an old computer

it overwrote the GPT partition tables with the floppy image, and i was very confused when i rebooted to ms dos 6 on my haswell machine

now, this is easily solvable, as the GPT table is backed up to the end of the drive. Windows however has absolutely no utility to fix this, but linux can very easily.

so that's the FIRST windows 10 issue I've had.

the second is that it twice became unable to recognize any USB devices and required a reinstall

Just put your cygwin/msys bin folder at the top of your path variable, then you can run all the linux utilities right from the plain ol' windows command line. It's v. satisfying
