So *how many* reboots are there actually during an install? I haven't experienced anything over only *two*, for Windows 10. Windows 11 was only one, but that was an 'install' from a new preloaded laptop, so probably more a 'setup' than an install. Anyway, two is quite a bit less than Lawrence's "about 5 times". Not that a few reboots during an *install* are anything to get one's knickers in a twist, but apparently some knickers get twisted rather easily.
