IrishMASMSPart 1/3 The continuing efforts with the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/ThinkPad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ThinkPad</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/W510" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#W510</a>: A nice surprise is this has four (4) <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/DIMM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DIMM</a> slots, so I was able to upgrade the memory to 32GB (and tested out fine with <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/MEMTest86" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MEMTest86</a>+ ver 7)! Unfortunately, getting an <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/OS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OS</a> installed has been problematic. As I mentioned previously, to use this as my <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/workbench" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workbench</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/laptop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#laptop</a> for testing, <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/imaging" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#imaging</a>, and <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/wiping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wiping</a> <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/HardDrives" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#HardDrives</a> and <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/SSDs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SSDs</a> (leveraging that <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/eSATA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#eSATA</a> port) all the manufacturer and optimal <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opensource</a> tools are on <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Windows" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Windows</a>. I started with the <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Win11" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Win11</a> LTSP: Booted up fine, initial install was fine – and the initial boot want to a black screen with a blinking cursor. Ok, let me try <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/Win10" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Win10</a> 64-bit LTSP with the same results: Booted up fine, initial install was fine – and the initial boot want to a black screen with a blinking cursor. <a href="https://defcon.social/tags/siliconValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener"
