[EXTERNAL] Re: TeX on Windows? [success!] [BUT PCTeX?]

Hi Guys!
Okay, I finally got TexWorks working with TexLive! I had already installed it with MikTeX before and it crashed immediately on my book then, but apparently TexLive fixed that problem. I replaced the non-ASCII character for a hyphen that tripped up the typesetting noted by Alan (Philip? Okay I got lost in allt the messages), and put "\protect" in front of \mathbb{R} in a section heading which also derailed the typesetting. Now it typesets flawlessly!
BUT are my previous installations of MikTeX irrelevant to this TeXLive installation? My original MikTeX from 2 years ago will NOT uninstall. Then I tried to install a new version renaming its file location to MikTeX2.9new from MikTeX 2.9, so now there are two. If I delete the new one and eventually my university IT people are successful in deleting MikTeX (I guess I can just leave it), will that affect TexLive? I clearly am clueless about just exactly what TeXLive is, and did not see any plain language description of it. I am guessing they are totally independent:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TeX_Live
Does anyone know about the bug in uninstalling MikTeX on a windows 10 machine? It reports an error and refuses to uninstall.
Finally, a big thank you to the support you have shown me! When I took a shot in the dark emailing a few addresses at TUG, I had no clue what the support at tug.org<mailto:support at tug.org> email was for or who it went to. I remember texhax from last century when I had been printing it out and keeping them in the late 1980s.
I have a general question. Most of the regular people like me are on either a PC or a Mac, and don't use Linux or Unix like typical TeXperts (my impression). How is it that there is not room in the market for an economical user interface like PCTeX, which apparently has crashed as a company? I have invested nearly 40 years in using TeX, then LaTeX, all this time paying my annual individual membership to TUG because I wanted to give back for what TeX has done for me, even hosting a local Philadelphia Tex Users Group (remember TV Guide? They used to use TeX for the program grids, we even had Stephan Bechtolsheim in for a weekend wizard workshop at their headquarters nearby Villanova) in the late eighties and early nineties, since which I have been blissfully using PCTeX and unaware of the efforts one must go through to have a free installation. When I finished installing TeXLive, I had no idea what to do with it. I stared at the TexLive window, looking for some hint of what next. Someone on this list had to tell me that TeXWorks was the interface (I already had some experience in the past with that).
So I guess this is goodbye for now, unless anyone has any thoughts on my musings above.
Arrivederci,
bob

PS Notice what our MS Exchange server does to URL's on incoming email at Villanova (scroll down below), totally garbling the actual URL to make it unreadable! To "protect" us. It seems a more enterprising programmer could make a way of showing the actual URL in an HTML formatted incoming email while pointing to the protected garbled URL underneath. Oh well.

Oh, and in case anyone else is wondering about that \226 nonsense: it's an artifact of my text editor (emacs) that it's showing me the octal raw byte:
octal 226 = decimal 150 = en dash[0] in Windows' code page 1252 [1].
