Installing Windows Server

Ensure that you install with Desktop experience!

Installing Windows 10

Installing Windows 10 follows the same basic steps as before, but ensure you use your different credentials!

Installing Ubuntu

Installing Ubuntu follows the same basic steps as before, but ensure you enter the relevant credentials, you can install without installing updates at the same time, and perform a minimal installation to save time. Without these options, it can take up to 30 minutes to install Ubuntu. There is a minimal amount of post installation setup to complete. You will likely need to input your username and password again during the setup process. Further, you can choose a minimal installation, and to install without updates, to speed up the process.
