  1. Installation/Upgrade Question?


    I am in the process of buying a new 1TB m-2 NVMe SSD to replace my present 120GB SSD. Which of the options in the Installation tutorials in the forum above would be the simplest one for me install considering I am a 71yr old pensioner and although I have built three of my own computers now I do not keep up with the latest tech in this regard. My OS is Windows 10 version 20H2 (OS build 19042.906) and I am wanting to avoid a reinstallation from my installation disk and then have to install over 5yrs of updates manually. If there was a way to copy my present install to the new SSD card it would be appreciated, if not what is the simplest way to do it?.

    :)

  2. Local account installation question


    I'm fairly certain that Skip this step was available in 10.0.130 - the workaround in Step 20 (back button) is no longer required.

    The currently known, as of 10.0.130, ways to create a Local account sign-in are
    • Skip this step at the MS account creation phase
    • No Internet connection during the install
    • static IP (post# 2 by Fragment) - New (to me anyway)

    The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

    Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.
