   6 ## Getting Started - Windows
   7
   8 > Note: Bookmark this guide. You're going to reboot at least a few times.
   9
  10 Optional - change host name
  11 ```
  12 Rename-Computer -NewName FOOOOOOO -Restart
  13 ```
  14
  15 1. [Install chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)
  16
  17 2. Tell `choco` to watch for reboots, as this is Windows.
  18 ```
  19 choco feature enable -name=exitOnRebootDetected
  20 ```
  21
  22 3. Install a decent terminal. This invokes a bunch of KBs.
  23 ```powershell
  24 choco install microsoft-windows-terminal # reboot after
  25 ```
  26
  27 3. Set dark theme (non-admin prompt)
  28 ```
  29 Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize -Name AppsUseLightTheme -Value 0
  30 ```
  31
  32 4. Reboot after first setup - you may see errors in `choco` commands otherwise.
  33 5. Set the PC time zone correctly - otherwise expect an install error in later `choco` commands.
  34
  35 4. More packages
  36 ```
  37 choco install git
  38 choco install code
  39 choco install powertoys # reboot after
  40
  41 ```

  75
  76 ## Installations
  77
  78 See the `\install` folder for scripts to install various handy utilities. Most of these rely on `Apt` on Linux, or `Chocolatey` on Windows.
  79
  80 ## Setups
  81
  82 See the `\setup` folder for configurations.
  83 These are, obviously, just my preferred configurations.
  84
  85 In general, these work by setting up symlinks on Linux, and on Windows by copying a stub file that sources the versioned file.
  86
  87 Most of these are cross platform `.ps1` files that run under PowerShell.
