Thanks again for the hint. In the mean time I found what I was looking for
within windows. The preferences for handedness are only available within the
"Desktop"-tile but not generally at this new start page with this awful tiles.
So I ever run into the "devices" section and there into a request to register a
Microsoft account. May be I was a Little bit to confused by the new optic to
overlook this simple button or may be I suffered from a severe brain damage. But
since it is very useful to have both systems running I will give Suse another
try at the weekend.

My previous and now defunct machine was the first for over some 20 years I had
with no Suse installed. With the partitioning my experience so far is that it is
better to have Windows do it itself. Usually this works. But I had more pressing
interests last days and now I will relax a Little bit.


Best regards,
Michael
