Check Windows 10 updates for your new laptop before launching the desktop.
I bought two laptops for the company recently. On the first one I delayed the WiFi configuration until later, just to finish the setup. It still required 15 to 20 minutes, which is acceptable. The second one I installed immediately and forgot to skip the WiFi setup, so it started downloading updates right away. That added another 15 to 20 minutes to the process, and now I have to wait through that because updates began before I even reached the desktop. I had to switch to the second machine out of necessity. On the first one I installed an M.2 drive and cloned the hard drive, booting from it worked perfectly. I then wiped the original drive and tried a blue screen recovery on the cloned one, but it didn’t help. I attempted to use D2D recovery tools on the cloned drive without success, so I decided to try the second laptop, hoping a quick flash drive would fix things. It took over an hour. Thanks Microsoft for the guidance. If you're in a rush setting up a new laptop, don't connect to any internet until you're ready for Microsoft to handle it. I didn’t share the technical specs since they weren’t important for this discussion.
