The OS already has most drivers and automatically downloads everything else, I miss skimming through pages of drivers to find the correct one. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Jeknilah@monero.town 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) You're telling me that making a Microsoft account isn't fun? It's truly a process I look forward to. Cortana is literally the friendliest AI waifu assistant I could ever ask for, how can I say no when she asks me to give up my privacy? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TheFerrango@lemmy.basedcount.com 2 points 2 years ago* Creating a Microsoft account is as easy as “next next done”, where’s the fun in that?. Cortana was great on Windows Phone (mostly because I love Jen Taylor’s voice), but they kept taking away features and was basically useless on the desktop which, imho, has no use for an assistant. permalink fedilink source parent [–] regbin_@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Sounds like PEBKAC. permalink fedilink source parent [–] plague_sapiens@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Been there, started scripting with PowerShell to have an after-setup-script to change reg entries, install tools (mostly through choco), run them (like dism++ cleanup and o&o shutup10 privacy tweaks) and migrate data from backups. Setting up and migrating took me usually 3-4h of work, sometimes more. With the scripts it's just: Install Windows, update, reboot, update, reboot, run the script, reboot. Done. It's like 30min of work. Good thing I changed to linux, cause you can automate the whole process and preseed it into a debian image or kickstart rpm-based distros. It's possible to do customized Windows images too. I have tried a lot of times. It never worked like it was supposed to. permalink fedilink source parent
