# boxstarter-win10

Automated setup of Windows 10 through Boxstarter/Chocolatey.

## Initial setup

* Install Windows normally. Use a local account, and reject all the data
  collection features such as location, Cortana, etc.

* Activate Windows so that personalization commands can be run successfully

* Open an Administrator PowerShell: type <kbd>Win</kbd>+<kbd>X</kbd>, click on
  `Windows PowerShell (Admin)`

* Lift the execution policy restrictions to be able to execute Boxstarter
  PowerShell scripts:\
  `Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force`

* Install Boxstarter:\
  `. { iwr -useb https://boxstarter.org/bootstrapper.ps1 } | iex; Get-Boxstarter -Force`

* Get the raw URL of the Boxstarter installation script you want. It should be a
  file ending in `.ps1` in the same folder as this README file. Be sure to get
  the raw URL that just gives you the raw file content itself.

* Run the Boxstarter installation script:\
  `$c = Get-Credential; Install-BoxstarterPackage -Credential $c -PackageName URL_TO_RAW_INSTALLATION_SCRIPT_HERE`
