So... Something odd... I downloaded the torrent, sent it to my 16 gig USB drive, installed. But I get some oddball error in the very last stage of installation. It's too fast for me to catch specifically on the SSD, but it's one of the self-extracts with the java icon, the third and final.
Once the OS launches, it's basically a bog-standard windows 7 with a skin, unactivated, no extra software or anything. and of course within five minutes of me installing my wifi driver its trying to get me to install windows 10.
Halp? Reccomendations?
