    Yes , it plainly says its a Beta. Whats the problem with that .

    Nothing if you understand what software being BETA means.

    However many people on this site don't and the way the OP worded their post it was trouble free. This is not the case. There will be someone who takes the OP at their word, wipes their computer, installs it and ends up with this and doesn't know how to sort it without paying someone
