FINALLY!

   After 6 long weeks my new Vanquish 7 Level 4 arrived!

OMG... first, UPS didn't deliver it until 9pm!

WTH?!

THEN... it wouldn't start. No kidding. I was freaking out. Then I see I didn't turn the power supply on the back to the "on" position.

BUT!

It STILL didn't power up! I was about to explode but looking inside I discovered the power supply wasn't plugged into the motherboard. Talk about a HUGE relief! I guess it came loose during shipping because there wasnt any "Quick STart Guide" that mentions this. I was thinking about how awful it was going to be shipping this back and waiting again. And my Thanksgiving holiday destroyed. : )

Anyways, I am loving this! This is my first real Windows machine since 2001 when I started working at ad agencies as a graphic designer. Been a Mac OSX guy ever since and game on consoles.

I always hated Microsoft Windows but so far I am digging the change AND how much Windows has improved since 17 years ago. Haha...

Can anyone recommend a link of a video/article on how to properly set up Windows? I mean, its the "Home" version and I want to get rid of all the crap that comes preloaded like Candy Crush. Xbox, etc.

	Dodged that bullet! Great save! IDK about Win setup, but I've been running 10 for 10 months without even knowing the stuff you mention is there. Congratulations are definitely in order, though!

	This is a good video on a good way to set up windows 10 for optimization. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U9kFXnomRWQ&t=4s Also, congratulations! I would have soiled my pants if I unpacked mine and there was no power. Glad everything worked out

	Wow. What a way to start! Luckily you got it running. Have W7 so can't help you there. Enjoy.
