What's going on guys it is Bernardo and we are going to install our operating system on our
cryptocurrency mining build that we have been doing together and today is all about plugging
everything up. I already have my bootable flash drive with Windows 10 on it. I'm going to plug
it into the back panel of this computer and we're going to power the machine on hopefully nothing
blows up and it should boot automatically into the flash drive so I can install the operating system.
Push all the windows updates. Make sure I push out the drivers for the motherboard and for the CPU
and for the graphics card. And then we could continue with our mining build. Okay, so
I'm going to plug everything up right now, together. First thing I'm going to do is
plug in our USB keyboard and USB mouse at the back of the computer. Super simple bam. I am going to
plug in my HDMI into the machine awesome cool monitor on beautiful power supply
power supply at the bottom. Awesome. I have an orange cable to power on the power supply. Awesome
flash drive, we're going to insert it in one of the 2.0 USB ports which is going to be at the top
excellence and make sure you power on the power supply because there's a switch
Okay, and we're going to press the Power button to turn it on.
But I want to see if it boots to the operating system or boots into the flash drive. And then
I could start the operating system installation. Alright so from here we are going to click on next
install. Right now Windows setup is starting up. That is a good thing.
I'm crossing my fingers. I'm hoping that the hard drive
that the motherboard is able to read the hard drive windows 10 enterprise LTSC because
LTSC is like a stripped down it doesn't have like Xbox app and it doesn't have all that nonsense
that I don't need. So we are going to click Next here. Accept the license and terms click next.
We're going to do a custom installed Windows only. Yes, it does pick up that one terabyte hard drive.
Ah beautiful. So we're going to select it. We are going to click on next and that's it right
now. It is installing Windows 10 on our cryptocurrency build, I am super
excited. Everything is working the way it's supposed to work.
Yes, so what's the final step? So the final step is once you got your operating system up
and running, make sure that you push out all the windows updates. Make sure you push out
all the drivers and utilities and software for every part that you have inserted into your rig
that consists of your motherboard all the drivers all the utilities all the software make sure you
push out the most important driver for your motherboard and that is your BIOS
update. Make sure that you're running the latest bios on that motherboard. The next thing is make
sure you update your graphics processor card drivers. Extremely important because you want
that to run with the latest drivers. For me, I install Google Chrome. You can install Firefox
is up to you. I do not like to use Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer within my operating system.
So my choice for browser will be Chrome. I'm still pushing out windows updates on this machine
as you can see I have to restart but just make sure you push out every single Windows Update.
Now once you have everything fully up to date because this is a cryptocurrency mining build,
you have to disable Windows updates make sure you disable that service on the operating system. So
your machine doesn't install a Windows update in it reboots during mining.
It's a no no. The next thing is you need to change the power settings so your machine doesn't go or
sleep the hard drive doesn't go asleep. It doesn't go in hybrid mode. You don't want that right. So
make sure those two settings are configured now what software that I'm using to mine and
the software that I'm actually using is claymore mining. It allows you to actually
use an AMD or Nvidia card at the same time. This is what I'm using right now. I already have it
installed and I already have my batch file already configured. Super self explanatory. Just follow
the instructions. You got to make sure that you right click and edit that particular batch file
and just change the settings to point to the pool that you're going to be using to
mine also if you want to give your worker a name, you could use this attribute e.worker
you're going to use e.wallet to basically tell the batch file
where's your wallet where to send your cryptocurrency to and that's it, plain and simple.
This is the mining software that I'm using for this rig. I'm still pushing out windows updates.
Once that's completed with Windows updates, I'm going to transfer the machine to another location
where there's like an AC unit to keep this machine cool 24/7 So I'm excited about that and then once
that's done I'm gonna double click on that batch file to run the mining and it's going to start
mining my cryptocurrency for me so hopefully you guys enjoyed this entire build with me if you have
any comments or concerns, leave them at the bottom and I catch you guys on the next one. Peace out
