Thanks for the comtinued advice! I decided to bite the bullet and do a clean
windows install for now and am gradually getting things back together
(MuseScore was literally the first thing I installed). I think I will also
give Ubuntu Studio a shot. If not as a dual boot on this computer, then on an
old one, which might be more convenient anyhow.
FWIW, my current computer is an HP Pavilion g6 series, which uses the Ralink
5390 (?) internal wireless adapter. There is no physical on/off switch for it,
but the F12 key is supposed to toggle it. Problem is, under Linux, it doesn't,
so wireless shows as having been turned off by hardware switch and nothing
works to turn it back on. I had the same issue when I tried upgrading to
Windows 8 earlier this year, and even after installing an updated BIOS still
couldn't get wireless to turn on. So I had to do a clean reinstall back to 7.
Which at least meant I knew I could do it this time too. Searching around, I
see lots of references to people with the same problem with this model, but no
clear solutions (plenty of solution to similar-looking but actually different
problems, though).
Feel free to contact me offline if you have any specific advice regarding my
wireless situation, but I think simply installing Ubuntu Studio on a different
computer probably makes more sense for now.
