Best way to install Windows to new SSD? March 29, 2019, 08:27:29 pm What's the best way to install Windows on a brand new SSD? I can't afford to buy Windows [horribly poor student] & I assume there is some "cheaper" alternative? Don't really care if it's W10, it'll be going on a ThinkPad x200 that originally ran W7. Any help much appreciated.

The torrent has a gigabit seedbox on it. Both should be fast. Last Edit: March 30, 2019, 12:51:17 am by Admin

During the initial screen, where you are formatting hard drives, simply hold down the shift key and press F10. This will bring up a command line window. Here, type in taskmgr. Find the two setup.exe files that are running, right click, and set their priority to critical / the highest option. Then exit, format your drives, and hit next. The whole install should take about 8 to 10 minutes on an SSD now, with everything going full throttle.

I'll see if I can add this to my windows 10 to automatically Run Setup.exe at highest priority.

I don't see how it would make Windows setup any faster. (in theory, I haven't actually tried)
