Setting up Windows2016

Post by Dekard »

I've installed the Windows2016 iso and it has a command prompt to change my admin password prior to finishing up the installation. I can type my password but cannot press enter. It seems enter isn't passing through. I even tried adding a usb keyboard. Macbook 2017 model, Sierra.

If you are at a command prompt, you have installed the core version with no GUI (which is the default). Is that what you really want?

Yep, thanks that may have been it, but even the core version I wasn't able to hit enter after updating the password. Thanks!
