Thanks.
I used a different method using the recovery file from Nvidia. I should mention I had problems at first but it was solved by doing a factory reset FIRST while still on Nougat, then booting to boatloader screen, then running flash-all.bat from the expanded .zip file. (I have the fastboot - adb directory in my path statement.)

I can't wait to try. The app crashes while flying get me nervous.
Working on a way to make the upgrade notification go away.
