This is the way. Even if a person didn't go headless, these machine are just screaming Linux. I don't think people understand how stagnant Windows has become. Most people would not miss Windows if...

No need to login to a MS account to store your license key - the license key is embedded in the UEFI of the motherboard (has been this way since Win8). If you create Windows installation media via...

It is many times difficult to reinstall windows on some of these. Mine, I had to reuse their windows image with all the drivers which kind of defeats the purpose. I ended up installing Linux but...

I would not enter any credential/password into these systems. I don't know if you can connect to your MS account without doing this.

Yes, a clean install should resolve all issues with these boxes that I'm aware of.

Setup first using your MS account should mean you don't have to worry about needing a license code to install. I think. Maybe someone can weigh in on that.

Hi WaltW!!
What I asked was "Resetting" the PC which is an option in the existing Windows that's already on a system. I was not asking about a clean installation using Windows image downloaded from...

Benchmarks for the GTX 970 look about 4X better than the Vega 7 on the 5500U, and I would guess cooling is suboptimal on these little boxes so results would probably not be great.

Hi thearches!!
Clean install would be by booting from Windows installation media, right? In that case, why do I need to do any initial setup that you mentioned? Thanks!!

If you do a clean install after initial setup (downloaded from MS), will that take care of everything?

I have a Beelink mini with a N100 processor. If doing a clean install of Windows you have to contact them to get the Windows license key because it is not built in. The key they sent was different...

This is much better than the n100 PC chips. Chinese brand or not, great specs at a great price. Only issue id have is the lack of any bios issues. They tend to "make it and forget it" on any kind of...

Looks like it's out of stock on eBay now, but I did link an i5-8500t for that reason. I think if you're interested in staying with Ryzen, a used M715Q with a Ryzen 5 2400GE is still a better deal...
