Create a bootable USB Key

• Download Windows10 ISO https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10ISO
• Create bootable USB key using the woeusb utility (https://computingforgeeks.com/create-windows-10-bootable-usb-on-linux/)

yay -S woeusb

sudo woeusb --device file.iso /dev/sdb --target-filesystem ntfs

Install Windows10 PRO

Install Software using Chocolatey

First install Chocolatey using a PowerShell as administrator:

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force; [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [System.Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol -bor 3072; iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://chocolatey.org/install.ps1'))

Then, install all required software using one command:

choco install -y firefox 7zip.install vlc git.install malwarebytes sumatrapdf.install steam anydesk discord f.lux cmder cura ccleaner neovim

Debloat windows10

https://github.com/Sycnex/Windows10Debloater

Run a PowerShell with administrative rights and run:

iex ((New-Object System.Net.WebClient).DownloadString('https://git.io/debloat'))

SSHFS

SSH Setup

Install OpenSSH from chocolatey as the one packed with Windows is quite old (link):

choco install openssh --package-parameters="/SSHAgentFeature"

Then generate the keys:

ssh-keygen

Start the SSH-Agent to automatically unlock the keys:

# Start the service
Start-Service ssh-agent

# This should return a status of Running
Get-Service ssh-agent

# Now load your key files into ssh-agent
ssh-add

Copy the public key with:

Get-Content -Path $HOME\.ssh\id_rsa.pub | Set-Clipboard

And add it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the server side.

Finally, it should be possible to ssh to the server.

SSHFS

Install sshfs-win.

Run the Registry Editor, and find Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\WinFsp\Services\sshfs.kr, then edit CommandLine:

svc %1 %2 %U  -o create_dir_umask=000 -o create_file_umask=111 -o umask=000

Then, to mount the network drive using sshfs:

net use X: \\sshfs.kr\thomas@192.168.1.21\srv\storage /persistent:yes

To un-mount it:

net use X: /delete

Software Setup

Syncthing

https://docs.syncthing.net/users/autostart.html#autostart-windows-startup

Go to %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup and create a shortcut linking to C:\path_to\syncthing.exe -no-console -no-browser

Then, Syncthing can be accessed with: http://localhost:8384/
