This GitHub repository is a clone of GoogleDrive\usual_app_Windows, but only includes links to download app installers, not the installers (except for some installers are hard to download).

Both this GitHub repository and the mentioned GoogleDrive directory are PUBLIC, do NOT put sensitive information here.

Be aware of Google Drive does not have ".gitignore" equivalent feature and GitHub blocks files larger than 100 MiB (need Git Large File Storage).

Use Microsoft Windows 10 Installation Media Creation Tool:

• File GoogleDrive\usual_app_Windows\MediaCreationTool22H2_Windows10.exe, OR
• Download from Microsoft.

After installed, set a computer name, example tungdtWindowsGram17z90q, restart. If you do not set, the computer name is a random string, e.g. DESKTOP-9ULQBFD.

Go to Start: Check for updates to update Windows to the latest version (because the Windows downloaded from Installation Media Creation Tool can be very old). After that, you should Advanced options: Pause updates: max 35 days.

(If the computer will be used as a server, you should install apps as admin user)

Check the computer directory GoogleDrive\usual_app_Windows to see if the installers are here, so you don't need to download them from the internet.

Install important apps first, example: Git, Firefox, 7z, ... You can come back to this step later (there are a lot of apps).
