+
+Optional - change host name
+```
+Rename-Computer -NewName FOOOOOOO -Restart

 1. [Install chocolatey](https://chocolatey.org/install)
-2. Install bare minimum packages:
 
-Run a command prompt as administrator:
+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 git code powertoys microsoft-windows-terminal 
+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 vscode
+choco install powertoys # reboot after
+```
+
+```
+git clone https://github.com/edthedev/dotfiles.git
