Initial setup

Got my computer. unpacked. Plugged in. Boot!

First is OOBE. First use this to Bypass the network.

Then create two accounts: One for Admin, another for local user.

The default OS comes with an Windows 11 home license. In this mode you can’t change display language, and there are other limitations. Go to Taobao (Aliexpress) and buy a Pro license! You can seek guidance with the customer service.

For my experience, I bought the wrong key, and have to buy another upgrading-key.

Observe it

Look at the status bar, and browser - it comes with a third-party browser that’s likely to sell your data. Uninstall it.

After that I see the homepage of Windows Edge keeps at Baidu. Then I discovered that it’s because the custom (lenovo-ised Huorong) anti-virus software. I uninstalled it.

I find the keyboard highlighting very annoying. I searched online but no accessible solution. Someone suggests kill the process but it’s not working.

I found the process and it’s location, but I double clicked another executable the screen began to flash. I have to force restart computer.

At last I use tapes to cover them 🤷‍♂️

Magic happens!

Connect to phone. Download and transfer V2ray. Install profile.

Install scoop. install neovim, fzf, bat, zig, RubyInstaller, Google Chrome, SuRun, gh, AutoHotkey, Steam, Desktop OK.

For development, I installed Visual Studio Build Tools (for Rust), Visual Studio Community (for C#), and Visual Studio Community Preview (for C++).

After logging into Chrome everything comes back.

Also don’t to make Start Comes All Back!
