  1. When I built my PC in January, I thought ahead and had downloaded everything. all software etc, including Windows 11 Pro. Sadly, Macrum Reflect is no longer free they only allow free use for 30 days, That way, I could delay getting on the net, and this did include downloading all driver updates from Gigabyte, Intel etc as I needed new updates for things like the graphics card, the Motherboard, its chipset drivers etc as this was a new built I put together, not bought as turnkey. So once the PC was ready to be plugged in and installation began, I had everything labeled and on USB drives so it was a matter of installing onto a USB port and go down the list and hit install. Don't recall if I updated the BIOS first, or installed Windows (both on their own USB sticks) and yes, did use the BIOS update port on the back to install that and had my Windows 10 retail key to install/register 11 Pro onto the new machine, and then proceeded to updated drivers etc, then software. I told Windows no internet, and was able to set up a local account lickity split. At the moment Davinci Resolve 19.1.4 is acting strange but am working on a rather large, multi timeline project with lots of stills and 4K video and today it's been funky as all get out, but I now have a setup for backups and need to do just that with a paid variant of Macrium. EaseTo Do is the same, no free versions either. Fortunately, it's not expensive to purchase. Backups are where I have not followed but the rest I mostly did.
