That's the spirit - think you've earnt yourself a break for now and best of all, the PC is still at least back exactly where you started so whilst you haven't exactly gained anything tangible, you also don't have a big fat expensive paperweight sat in your study taunting you. Trust me, that can pass as a win by itself in these situations. When you're ready to level the score come back and we'll go for round two with the UEFI reset.
