Those steps are insane and convoluted. Prolly should just get to Linux.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

You mean the annoying operating system where you have to follow convoluted instructions, type random commands into the terminal in order to do something simple, like install the operating system?

*reads article*

Oh, that's Windows now

These instructions were a hell of a lot easier than trying to get my GPU, audio, bluetooth and several other things working on my machine when I tried several different Linux distros.

having your settings and files synchronized across multiple computers you might log into.

I fuckin HATE having all my shit on every device. if I wanted everything on one device id only have 1 device.

Why are both of the bypassnro methods missing?

[–] towerful@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago

Might be building off the fact that Microsoft is removing the bypassnro script.

I presume the registry key still works.

But anyone installing windows without using an unattended.xml file is missing out.
I've used this, and it was super easy.
