I finally got done! It was RIDICULOUS. My Windows install was so badly fucked by the enforced motherboard swap that I couldn't even use a USB drive. This made it really hard to fix! I had to download the Win 8 ISO using the Windows tool, copy it to my NAS, copy it to my Macbook Pro, use Unetbootin to make a bootable USB from it, boot the PC with that, install that, then install Windows 10 finally. Yeesh it took a long time.
All seems to be running well so far, though I've not tested much in the way of applications properly I will admit. First impressions are that it's "quite nice" so they can put that on the poster if they like. |
