what matters most is if "your dead" or "a live ok"
- better let CP know too before they cancel your account or not ok.

woohoo I'm a rebel just for kicks now !

If I'm not mistaken, it must have been sometime late yesterday afternoon (utc-6) as I checked it on a new PC and noted how it seemed to be incredibly fast it loaded...and credited that to new hardware. Now for proper credit, thanks to Chris and all the CP staff for making this such a great place to hang out/vent/anything but work! The improvements are appreciated!

Due to a recent discussion regarding the benefits of a speedy development system, I made an impulse buy a few days ago and bought a Lenovo desktop system (12GB RAM/1TB HDD/AMD A12-9800 3.8GHz/dual monitor support/Win10 Home) to replace my ancient 9 y/o (4GB RAM/480 GB SSD + 1 TB HDD/AMD Phenom 3800?/etc./Win10 Pro (upgraded from 7 but with a clean install))
I also purchased a 480GB SSD to with intent to replace the HDD. I also intend to upgrade the OS to 10 Pro. I'll be unboxing it later, after hours, to get it hooked up and start the process of getting it development ready. I have never bought Lenovo, and really don't have an idea of how much crapware they preinstall, but if it's anything like HP , I think I'd rather do a clean OS install.
What I'm aiming for is spending the least amount of money (upgrade to 10 pro instead of just doing it the easy way by getting a new license and starting with the blank SSD) while spending the least amount of time to do it.
One route I'm thinking is just to get the thing online and purchase the upgrade license directly...hopefully it's less than the full version. Once it upgrades, I can then pop in the new SSD and the Win 10 installation media and do a clean install using the upgrade key.
Should this work, or is there a better/easier way? Thanks!
BTW, with the current ratio of SSD price per GB, I'm surprised at the lack of SSDs available in off the shelf units...one other more expensive (i7) tower had one but it was only 128GB.
Edit: I've just opened the box, then opened the box and am disappointed to see that there are only two sata/mb connectors. ...and no apparent way to mount the SSD either...this may make it difficult to run 3 internal sata devices.
Edit 2: Everything went extremely smooth and I'm now looking at a clean and fresh Win10 Pro system running from the new SSD! The missus will be out of town next week so I'll be able to start loading software. One of the first things I need to do is to find a ps/2 to usb connector so I can plug up my trusty old HP keyboard. (came with my first windows system in '98)

Can't advise on the Windows 10 Pro upgrade issue, but when installing VS2017 and opting for the D: drive to my surprise the bulk was still installed on the C: drive
So be careful what options you select on installing VS2017, it might be best to start with a minimal installation.

That confirms my suspicions! A clean install (at some point) it is then! Thanks!

mounting ssd without a bay: because they are non moving a couple of velcro tabs will do the job. (Consider first if there is a DVD drive rip that out and mount an SSD or two there.)
Only 2 SATA ports? that sucks, even most ITX-mini boards usually have 4. That manufacturer was really being cheap.
Does it have USB 3.1? - supposed to be almost as fast (could put SSD #3 in an external enclosure or if there's an extra internal USB 3.1 port connect it there and [velcro] mount internally.
I've started thinking on my own next build for end of this year, I prefer buy and build individual config (the shop does most of the actual build - tricky stuff like installing the CPU). The plan: as tiny as possible without sacrificing too much . Figure by year end Intel will be fixed and ASUS will have more small mobos with USB 3.1 - currently they have only 1 with 3.1.
Signature ready for installation. Please Reboot now.

I have an extra SSD just sitting on the floor of the box - not even any Velcro. As you say, nothing's moving....
