Glad you like it. I find spacebar to be easier and you get around the complication that sometimes a beginner is unfamiliar with the "Fx" keys.

F8 brings up my motherboards boot options. I always seem to end up in the wrong menu. If I want safe mode I end up at the bios boot options menu and if I want to boot from a USB drive I end up at the windows safe mode, etc menu.
Maybe I'll have better luck with the space bar, thanks for the heads up.

Glad you like it. I had seen a reference to this once before but had ignored it then. Am glad that I followed up this time. As for me, Spacebar it is!
