For the loyal Patreon supporters here of Los Injurus...

How does The Bob get Windows 10 Pro legitimately, with a retail key to survive hardware upgrades, activate effortlessly without telephone intervention, on new PC's?

Here you go!  This is what I bought for the new machine and it works wonderfully.  It sure beats piracy (considering my strong stance against such activities), and it is very affordable especially for those disabled/retired/living pay-check to pay-check.

Speaking of new machine, I am finally finishing updating the machine so I can actually use it now.  Hopefully I will get to start doing that tomorrow (well, later today).

If you'd like a PC part picker list with a motherboard that works with specified RAM out of the box (just go into BIOS and read the XMP profile and BAM it works), and has a good CPU to boot, and has no issues installing Windows on it, here you go:

This is as I'd spec the computer.  You can save 15$ if you opt for a case without a Window.  The SSD drive is available at Microcenter if needed, that is their house-brand.  You don't need a better NVME drive to have a snappy, responsive computer, but you can barely touch a 500gb Samsung NVME drive for that price.  I opted to use the in-box cooler with the Ryzen, as it's plenty competent for what it is.  You can also choose to use a bigger power supply, but for a PC with a 65 watt CPU, that's not really needed - never-mind that SeaSonic will do it's rated MAX output 24/7 with nary a complaint.  The choice is yours, however.

I did not purchase a 5700/5700XT card for mine as I have an RX 480, but for those interested in building a new PC, I did list it for convenience.  I would wait until the custom versions come out (VS the OEM blower models like listed), in just a mere few weeks.

Remember folks, NONE of the funds from here were used to build the new machine.  I use those funds wisely to pay for Maya, to pay for other software (such as World Machine), or if I need assets or textures for the map.  It also sometimes goes towards car repairs or doctor bills as I am disabled (Medicare doesn't cover EVERYTHING).  Though for-sure I won't be going to fancy restaurants with it.  That'd be too shady even for me.

I wanted to thank everyone again for being loyal fans of the map project.  So this is my way of showing you how I save money, legitimately, and try to help others in the process.

Next beta in about two weeks - stay tuned!
