Previous screen? That would be my BIOS boot screen. From here, I press
F8 key. I found it. I need to go to "Repair Your Computer" for its GUI.
It asked me what language, login with my account, and then Sysem
Recovery Options with its Windows Memory Diagnostic option. I don't know
why I don't see that memory tester in the black text screen. Maybe it is
in a different edition. FYI, this is with an updated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1
retail installation.
