I had to restart it several times. The kernel kept dying. It was very
tricky to get it to work, and well beyond most students.

To switch to chrome: I opened chrome, went to settings, then selected
"make chrome the default browser", closed the IE version and
restarted. When I double-clicked on the sage notebook desktop icon,
sage opened in chrome. It worked fine but was a bit slower than the
CLI.

When you start the windows notebook, you get a"jupyter" option and a
"SageMath 7.4" option in the drop-down menu in the upper RH corner of
the window. I selected SageMath. Is that sagenb? I assumed it was a
jupyter notebook running sage since it had the "In[1]:" cursor.

Thanks again.

This sage binary was installed on that machine, not a network server.
No doubt, it could have weird firewall settings though.

This is on Windows 7. I don't have access to a machine with Windows 10 yet.

Thanks!
