Problem 2 is to get this <HOWto dual boot> working.
...
Please help me to:
1. setup Win10 to boot my existing TC64 USBstiks.
2. make a legacy bios/uefi dual boot usb stick per December 23, 2015 article.

I’ve read this first post many time to see where the confusion is.. I suspect you’re going about this all wrong.
First, you have two machines which run EFI firmware so why attempt to make a legacy BIOS bootable USB in the first place when EFI USB would work fine on both machines?
I believe that either this new laptop manufacturer didn’t provide a Compatibility Mode option for you to boot a legacy USB stick or you didn’t enable CSM in the BIOS/Firmware
You can check for CSM and enable it but I doubt you’ll find it since it’s a beta BIIS and Connex didn’t provide SecureBoot either.
On an EFI PC
1. To boot an unsigned OS, Secure boot must be disabled. It appears that SecureBoot is disabled so that’s step 1 accomplished.
2. Also if you created a Legacy MBR USB and trying to boot it on an EFI machine then depending on the firmware implementation you may need to enable CSM (as it does on my EFI test notebook). At least that’s the only workaround I’m aware of to boot a Legacy MBR Partition Table on an EFI Machine if the firmware doesn’t specifically support that (and few pc’s do from the 2017-2018 era)
When I attempt to boot an MBR partitioned USB stick without CSM enabled, the boot process hangs somewhere between the kernel and a graphic desktop loading. does that sound familiar?
Frankly we don’t know the history or even the current Status of your installation or USB. Therefore in the event you’ve created a Legacy MBR Compatible USB and there’s no support for that scenario in your new notebook’s firmware start afresh with a pure EFI USB Stick with GPT and FAT32 (fat32 for the boot loader and kernel partition) as described in my last couple of posts..
If your old notebook’s EFI BIIS/firmware supports CSM then disable it to boot either machine with your new UEFI only USB Stick
Good luck

I temporarily lost my Wifi access AFTER I got <grub2EFI> working.
What helped was trimming of the cosmetic-fluff from the grub.cfg entry,
which allowed the vital error mesg: <KERNEL TOO OLD> to be read,
instead of flashing-past. ….. I'll post details tomorrow.

Compared to proper protocols eg. NNTP, this web-based forum, like gmail,
is problematic.
I still must read/follow the June 13 post; only now seen.

Removing the <cosmetic parameters> from grub-entries allowed me to read
<Kernel too old> and focus on MY ERROR of commenting out the <wget kernel10>
from the script which wgot the other V10-files.
Probably I wanted to avoid the additional problems of upgrading;
from the main concern of how to handle the secure-boot-lock.

Current status of <Aptio 2018> Laptop:
Power off / on & F7 = list of Bootable USBstiks & partitions.
Select <the one> Partn 2 = GRUB selection menu.
I don't now remember the details of my newly added grub.cfg entry.
In nonroot VT do 7 times: sudo openvt
Can do: fdisk, df, mount, …..
Locate my dir on old TC64-stik which installs my Ver7 & 8 apps.
=> mc & gpm are alive
=> startx runs except no <bottom bar App list>
=> opera-12 <better rendering than old laptop> !!

Can I hope to activate the 4 wifi *.tcz by following my logs,
from Ver7 & 8 days?

That probably means that you did not load the wbar extension or, if you did, then one of the deps is missing.

Nothing changed with wifi since then, so it should work - you may need to update your wifi firmware extension if you use one.

Hi labeas
This forum is a place for communicating questions, answers, and ideas. You come here seeking assistance and proceed to
make your posts difficult to follow by cluttering them with irrelevant information, unrelated opinions, and syntax like => and <>,
which makes it difficult to follow what you are trying to say, i.e the communicating part I mentioned earlier.

Irrelevant. You can post to this forum using any Operating System you wish.

I have no idea what you mean by that.

Unrelated opinion. To the best of my knowledge, you are the only one here who finds this "web-based" forum problematic
Nobody cares what you think of Gmail since it's unrelated to this threads topic. More clutter on your part.

You should probably read all replies in a thread prior to posting again. They might address some issue you are about to post about.
You have a 64 bit machine so I know it's up to the task of running an HTML capable browser. Install a proper browser and then:
1. Learn how to wrap terminal commands and responses in Code Tags (see below).
2. Learn the proper use of Quote Tags so others can find where the quote came from (see below).
3. When referring to another thread, provide a link to that thread (see http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,22848.msg142805.html#msg142805)
4. Understand that the individuals trying to help you do not work for you. They are volunteers giving up their own time. Yet for
some reason you seem to feel this forum and its members need to learn to conform to your way of thinking and doing things.
That type of self centered behavior likely discourages some individuals from responding to your requests for help.

above the reply box and paste your text between the Code Tags
Code Tags serve as visual markers between what you are trying to say and the information you are posting. They also preserve
spacing so column aligned data displays properly.
