Don’t go near 20H4. It’s fucked. They’re pushing another version out next week to unfuck it.
You mentioned that a few weeks ago but I upgraded to 20H4 on here (laptop) and the Media PC without an issues.
No issues here either, in the HellDesk for life taking care of the mother-in-law. However, it took most of an hour to
force trick the boat-anchor BIOS into booting from a 8GB USB stick. 20H4 64-bit only was too large to fit onto a single-layer DVD. After that, it all went very well for the install. Yes, that included making sure that the Ethernet cable was UNPLUGGED during the setup and configuration. It seems to be working fine after several days.
Since this is HellDesk, her new computer is still a challenge. It freezes up very shortly after start-up, not even enough time to run HWiNFO or MemTest86. The BIOS (or modern equivalent on a B350M) feels quite hot to the touch; is that abnormal? The only other machine I can swap parts with for troubleshooting is my recent Ryzen 3600 build; not sure I want to risk that. With BlackFriday sales starting, looking for recommendations on a B550M, probably with Ryzen 2600. I assume ASRock is a good bet?
Of course, HellDesk never ends. Her laptop is running nicely now. Replaced the HDD with a SSD and now running only a single AntiVirus suite, instead of 3 at once

And it is just not HellDesk without something new. She asked me to find all her photos on her portable HDD. Several years ago, she had a computer shop
add all her files from the boat-anchor mentioned earlier to the HDD. It turns out they did a disk
clone and all her photos are long gone. That sucked to break the bad news to her.
Is Hell freezing cold or is it an unbearable furnace? The B350M might be the judge of that... that, or finding nordic ski gear for a
7 year old. What do you mean, the only boots available in his kid size are the same model used by world cup skiers (with the matching very high-end price)
