    “please wait while we are setting up your computer” and “just a few more moments” screens that give you absolutely no information about what is actually happening.

    Fun fact, Windows actually does have a verbose mode for these screens. It’s completely convoluted to get it to do it though, but you can lmfao 😂

        It’s been awhile, but the gist of it as after the boot disk installation you have to stop it from rebooting and go back into the boot disk, open a command prompt, open the boot disk’s regedit, connect it to the registry hive installed on the drive and set some flags there and reboot

        If you like pain, there’s a YT video of a madlad installing windows completely manually
