I'm happy to wipe it as there's only Windows on there and a few games which can easily be installed again.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 21:36

Not quite sure what you mean mate sorry?

So attach my SSD to my brother's PC again? And plug the window 10 iso usb to my brother's PC?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 21:47

We will give it a go, give me a second to hook up the ssd to his pc again. So attatch my SSD, run the iso from my usb stick and then?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 21:53

How do I know not to register it to that PC? We aren't actually going through the windows set up here are we? I'm a bit confused.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 21:59

I'm still confused

Sure there is no way my Windows won't activate once I've linked my ms account again?

My brothers PC is up and running fine now, I dont want to mess that around and give myself a massive headache.

If worst comes to worst I'll have to pay 20 quid..

Shall we just get my SSD installed and everything else, install Windows and see what we can do about activating it tomorrow?

Which sata port shall I put ssd in?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 22:27

Ahhh bless her. Hope she gets better. The SSD is mounted, just need to determine which sata port...

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 22:40

In the future but it won't be for a good while.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 22:42

Went for Sata 0. Shall I start the windows installation?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 22:43

HDD won't be going in until tomorrow don't worry.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 22:44

Ok will get in to BIOS now.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 22:46

It says here SATA mode - AHCI.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 22:51

Haven't put an ethernet cable in yet, all the case cables are plugged in as far as I'm aware. Not attached anything to PC apart from keyboard and mouse.

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 22:52

Shall I set first boot option to the USB stick first?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 22:54

Dont need it attached during Windows installer do we?

It's given me a choice of which operating system I can install, I've always had Home but is there any advantages in getting Pro or?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 22:59

Home it is.

That really would be a persuasive call without a key...

Haha. Delete all partitions and create a new one?

BeadyRoller · 12 May 2017 at 23:04

It's made 4 partitions. Recovery, System, MSR (Reserved) and primary. Format the biggest one before installing?
