Windows fails at install

[mpack]

The Windows 10 ASUS laptop I have doesn't support high end NVdivia RTX graphics cards either.

Died-in-the-wool tower case man here, so I wouldn't be in the market for that ASUS laptop either (*). I do have a Surface Pro 8 that I bought to go on a trip with me. Pretty nice actually, since it can access all of the Intel ecosystem except the CPU-draining stuff I mentioned. As a bonus it has top of the range USB-c transfer speeds, great for copying video files off a drone.

(*) p.s. And I not saying that everyone should have the same priorities as me. What I am saying is: don't buy your M1/M2 laptop and then express surprise that the Intel ecosystem is closed off to you. If you did your research then you accepted that when you went for that laptop.

p.p.s. I don't know about the specific laptop you mention, but high end graphics cards are available for Intel laptops. As I said I'm not a laptop user myself, but I know that several guys at my work have this. I assume the card goes into an M.2 slot down below, but don't quote me on that. I know that the performance was surprisingly good running our 3D graphics app (OpenGL).

Don't fret. I don't remember being surprised.

FWIW, I have both Intel & Apple silicon Macs. Plus the aforementioned Windows Box, a System 76 Linux box, and a Chromebook. I may even have an Atari 1200XL in the basement. I forget.

The OP said he was, this is his topic.

And snap: an Atari 1024STF sits on my office shelf right now, along with monitor and external hard drive.

What can I say? I'm old. I confuse easily.
