New BI Setup - PC questions

I wanted to close the loop on this and say thanks to all for the responses.

I’ve ordered a Dell i7-8700 win10pro from eBay that should arrive next week for exclusive BI use.

Before now, I would’ve never looked at eBay for a pc.

I scored a Optiplex SFF I7-7700 8g, Win10PRO for $389 shipped, should arrive tomorrow. :headbang:

I just bought a Elitedesk 800 G3 i5-7500 256 SSD for $250 in Facebook Market. I think is a good deal.

I’m trying to set this up. Haven’t built a win 10 pro machine yet.

How do I load windows on the new SSD I installed? I thought it happened over the wire if there is no os.

Is this in the wiki?

Disregard. Found the bits here for win10. It picked up the license from my system.

What should I do for virus protection? In win7, I’ve used and have been happy with ms security essentials. Is that built into win10 and is it sufficient? Default settings ok?
