New feature added on 29/11/2020
Auto try again if the exitcode not 0 (error occurred)
Reason? If you has an error (when running os.system),
it won't catch and stop. The script will continue to 
run and delete the create file and you have to start again!

You have to set the boot flag for the vhd file (NOT for ARM64 if you are not on a ARM machine!!!)
Please open Command Prompt as Admin and execute:
bcdboot V:\Windows
Replace V with the mounted vhd letter

If you want to change the name of the entry, please follow the instructions from
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cesardelatorre/booting-natively-windows-10-from-a-vhdx-drive-file/
(Step 8)
You may need to change the default boot device too!

Restart and take a look at your new Insider version! :D
