-My ~~Linux~~ dot files. These are shared so that I can easily share a link to a tip or trick.
+EdTheDev's Linux and Windows dot files. 
+These are shared so that I can easily share a link to a tip or trick.
 
-## Setup
+## Getting Started - Windows
 
-`bootstrap.ps1` - Script I use to setup on Windows. Mostly relies on Chocolatey, of course.
-`bootstrap.sh` - Script I use to setup on Linux. Makes many decisions, as some of my Linux hosts are for targeted purposes.
+> Note: Bookmark this guide. You're going to reboot at least a few times.
+
+Optional - change host name
+```
+Rename-Computer -NewName FOOOOOOO -Restart
+```
+
+1. [Install chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)
+
+2. Tell `choco` to watch for reboots, as this is Windows.
+```
+choco feature enable -name=exitOnRebootDetected
+```
+
+3. Install a decent terminal. This invokes a bunch of KBs.
+```powershell
+choco install microsoft-windows-terminal # reboot after
+```
+
+3. Set dark theme (non-admin prompt)
+```
+Set-ItemProperty -Path HKCU:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Themes\Personalize -Name AppsUseLightTheme -Value 0
+```
+
+4. Reboot after first setup - you may see errors in `choco` commands otherwise.
+5. Set the PC time zone correctly - otherwise expect an install error in later `choco` commands.
+
+4. More packages
+```
+choco install git 
+choco install code
+choco install powertoys # reboot after
+ 
+```
+
+

 These are, obviously, just my preferred configurations.
 
-In general, these work by setting up symlinks on Linux, and on Windows by copying a stub file that sources the versioned file.
