    That has your serial on it at the end, might want to remove that and change to this

    Any help much appreciated on how to format drive


    I've attached a pdf that covers how to install windows - please excuse the crappy photos :) . You'll need a computer that already has windows 10 and a minimum 4GB USB stick.

    Just saw this too late for me, but thanks. Note that you don't need to change the boot order though - I just pressed F12 at startup and was given the list of devices I could choose to boot from, and selected the USB from that.

    I installed the wireless support using the above-referenced exe on USB after Windows installed then.

    Mine has been delayed due to "An Emergency Situation or Severe Weather".

    It has just arrived. I’m like a child on Christmas morning.

    I don’t know how my other laptop has kept going until now (4 years of heavy heavy use and a few knocks along the way).

    Now time to set it up and enjoy the video rendering and encoding :-)
