W10 refuses to install.
Just about at the stage where it's now more economical for the client to purchase a new laptop. -
Re-setting up a Rasp Pi after working out why i couldn't get the latest zabbix-agent installed.

Nope, this means your going to be getting reamed out by clients for things that aren't in your control.
really - what job in IT exists that this doesn't happen?
IT likely doesn't get reamed out at a mortuary. . .
So I think you are joking, but as someone who has done mortuary IT... you are correct. It's a laid back environment that I really like.
yes, 'twas a joke ; get it - Mortuary ; Dying. ..

They usually describe a role that appears much more difficult than the job actually is. So don't be put off by something that sounds like it may be above you.
Thanks for that advice man, I'll have to keep that in mind.
You know how to ask questions and where to get advice. You could pretty safely take any level of IT role and as long as you don't get cocky you'd pretty much be able to pop online, ask about anything and everything, and get shit done quickly enough that no one would suspect you were learning as you go.
no body suspects that now . LOL
if anything ML is the reason I'm leaving. I'm applying to jobs at my desk as i go. -
Building infrastructure VMs... the great migration is upon us.

I have some systems where people had a Windows 7 laptop and a desktop and will only be getting one or the other with Windows 10. So, some are two for one.

I also need to get everyone logged into the new RDS server to create their UPD profiles. Unless there is a profile migration tool to go from Server 2008 R2 standard profiles to 2016 UPD.

W10 refuses to install.
Just about at the stage where it's now more economical for the client to purchase a new laptop.It wouldn't happen to be a 32bit CPU would it?
@scottalanmiller's post above has had me wondering. -

@scottalanmiller's post above has had me wondering.no mate, 64 bit with 8GB RAM.
If I boot up on a bootable W10 USB to install W10, will it or won't it see the existing W7 license and use that?
I've only been running setup.exe from within W7.

The license should be embedded into the hardware assuming it's an oem.

It'll nab the key from the mobo.
I find it best to take as much Windows out of the equation as possible.I haven't been upgrading the Win7 PC's here. We're wiping and reloading. Too much fluffing about.
