Specification = Inspiron 15.6 inch model 3581, with 8GB RAM, Intel 7th Gen Core i3 Processor + Tray load DVD device.

I purchased a Dell laptop in 2016 running Ubuntu 14.04, and started to understand that Ubuntu could be very useful. Due to my lack of Linux experience, I set up a Standard user account, without any password, to use on a day-to-day basis, without administration rights, so that I could not inadvertently issue disastrous commands. | I purchased a Dell laptop in 2016 running Ubuntu 14.04, and started to understand that Ubuntu could be very useful.

When the new Dell computer was delivered, the Ubuntu 18.04 software install process asked if a recovery disk was required – which I confirmed, thus the operating system setup started. Other requests asked for user account(s) to be set up – and I found that all accounts now have to have passwords, and the Guest account was no longer installed as part of the operating system. | When the new Dell computer was delivered, the Ubuntu 18.04 software install process asked if a recovery disk was required – which I confirmed, thus the operating system setup started.
