Don’t connect to internet, Shift f10 to bring up command prompt, oobe/bypassnro, wait for restart, click I don’t have internet, make local account. Did it today.

When were you a really little kid?

Windows 10 eol is Oct. 14, 2025. 18 more months.

I used to use Cinelerra back in the day. It’s a non-linear editor like Premiere. If I could figure it out with YouTube more than a decade ago, it shouldn’t be too hard.

Just booted mine up and you’re correct about the size of Mint Mate. It’s about 14Gb. I don’t remeber what OS was 4Gb.

Also for extra security I added 2FA to my sign in. Anytime I enter a login password I need to get a code from the authenticator app on my phone.

I have a similar set up (with a 32gb built in SSD). I use it when traveling. In my experience running an OS off of an SD kills the card in about a year and it dies without warning. Make sure you don’t save anything important on there without a back up.

Love what you’ve done here and can’t wait to see more of your projects.

Mint Mate will run like fire on that little guy. Plus a full install is less than 4Gb. Using the built in SSD with full disk encryption would give you a really secure laptop, especially since the SSD is not removable.

Windows Server 2022 kicks 2000 in the balls, does a line of coke, and crashes.

If only there were a way to make it so employees weren’t willing to risk their jobs scamming the company to just to earn an extra $100. 🤔
