Disagree - I've done it, it is easy and straightforward, but anyone who hasn't installed an OS on bare metal and used a certain tool that you can get from Github to activate MS products, isn't going to explain the process as "super easy". More like "a mother-fucking pain in the ass" and "why did you suggest this" and "what the fuck is an iso".

This is definitely "I'll swing by this month and install it" territory, not "here's a guide, ez pz" for anyone older than 40 who didn't major in CS.

Most of those points are why I mentioned that setting up the iso on a removable drive is probably the hardest part. If you can boot to it then the rest of the installation process at that point is pressing 'next' through the W10 initialization.

But I'll also concede that an average mom and pop likely can't handle opening powershell to run massgravel and activate windows, even though it's as simple as copying and pasting, then pressing '1'
