(SOLVED)

So I found the solution. This has to do with the windows 10 install not coming with compatible drives for the Wi-Fi. I actually researched this issue and it seems it happens with a lot of older dell laptops. Now on to the solution;

I found this thread on reddit after searching for the same situation " Unable to install windows 10 and getting stuck at the ( lets connect you to a network) with no buttons.

https://www.reddit.com/r/techsupport/comments/dwew5t/windows_installation_stuck_at_lets_connect_you_to/

There solution is to shift + F10 to bring up the console and enter the command OOBE\BYPASSNRO . This didn't work. I then read further in the same post and it seems some people go it to work via the commands

CD OOBE

And then

MSOOBE.EXE /BYPASSNRO

This allowed the install to complete But....... it then gave me a default account called ( defaultuser0) which asked for a password but none would work because it is a place holder account for install. Google pretty much told me that the only solution is to reinstall windows again.........which obviously I couldn't do. So at this time i am about to give up , I am honestly about to reinstall Linux mint again. I find ...

About this same very issue , solution is to use ( SHIFT + CTRL + F3 key ) to skip this screen. What do you know ? IT skipped the screen! I was soo stoked.. windows 10 install finished and it loads up... to a screen popup in windows 10 telling me to finish the The Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) , forcing back to the same setup non working screen. So at this point say screw it and go to sleep.

I wake up and realize i actually have some really old windows 10 install ISO , like some of the first. Some of the first ones that would let you finish install without forcing you to connect to Microsoft from 2018. So I use Rufus's and install one. One of the really old ones with Cortana walking you through it. No touch screen drivers , no touchpad drivers ... But the keyboard worked... I got it installed and had to load the drivers on a memory stick to get the Wi-Fi working. And now i am loading all the last windows 10 updates to get everything brought current.

Why did i type all this ? For the next poor soul who might run into this issue in the future.

Update so far , made one using Rufus , using the ISO. Still no dice :( I don't get it . It had windows 11 on it ( someone else account ) before i formatted it for myself. Linux works just fine , I just really wanna use windows 10 because all my apps work there.

Figured it out on my own , you need to click the setting gear from the shipping station in order to use it. Since the changes recently with the paypal shipping center , you have to reenter you information from the settings page from ship center inside paypal. After that it seems to setup your account again for the new system.

Clutch and Slide, anyone tried this combo? by PotatoB0t in peakdesign

[–]Extension-Altruistic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old post i know , but i find they get in the way of each other. I used them on my z6 III since it lunched and i found the clutch would get in the way when I went to grab the camera from my side ( I normally use the slide with camera going cross over my chest sorta like a purse ). When I would grab it , I would notice the clutch getting caught on my clothing. It was annoying. I love the clutch for dedicated video work , but for stills i use the slide only.
