Having to install 2 RTD systems on 2 laptops this morning. Should be easy right? Just install the software and drivers for the peripherals. Yeah, no problem. Uhhhh... no. This is a bare bones refurbished PC with Win 10 in S-Mode installed.

Here's the process I've developed for these pieces of ****:

1. Kill ALL downloads (may have to wait a minute or two)
1a. Go to Store and click upper right bars to find them

2. Sign in to Microsoft Account

3. Go to Settings -> Update & Security -> Activation

4. Update Store

5. Repeat #3^

6. Click GET

7. Activate .NET 3.5
(TURN OFF WINDOWS UPDATES!)
7a. Type: appwiz.cpl (or type Windows Features)
7b. Click on Turn on Windows features (may have to wait a minute or two)
7c. Select .NET 3.5 (includes...)
7d. Select "Let Windows..."

8. RESTART

9. Change Account settings to Local Sign In

That's just to be able to install the RTD software, and most of the time the system just hangs. These are systems that are put in place into $300k+ facilities, so spend the extra $200 on a new laptop with a full OS installed. Son of a bitch. I'm so ****ing done with these things.

wtf
