And it was already so fast I just now noticed.
87MB/sec download speeds on a single open socket.
I was saturating my WiFi at 25MB/sec and i didn't realize it - thought i was topping out my internet and i was happy with it.
plugged it into a wire today just so i could let the hubby use my wifi dongle because his laptop's built in wifi was dodgy for a bit. i was reinstalling windows so i had to download a bunch of stuff anyway.
The windows install was utter hell. At least a dozen blue screens and i had to run out and buy a DVD-ROM to fix it. It cost me a mint in downtime for work this week too.
So it was nice to bookend this disaster with this wonderful broadband windfall.
Comcast actually wasn't lying when they told me i'd get better than 600MBits/s. I thought it was a sales guy talking up burst rates for the node, but no.
Woo.

Yes, it is not yet the time when wireless superseeds cable.

Yeah but this is the first time I've had Internet speeds where it was actually an issue.
What a great "problem" to have.

Couldn't use the bootable USB using the Media Tool? I have re-installed my in-laws pc from there a couple of times and was surprisingly fast and "friendly"

I did, hence the bluescreens.
Old windows 10 isos hate Ryzen cpus.

They're great CPUs, even if Microsoft screwed up an old copy of windows 10

Why would you use an old ISO?
|
|
|
|
|
Because it's what I had on a flash drive + had a license to (a copy of pro, but home shipped with my PC, except the product key was defaced - joy)

If you have a license for win 10, you are good to go with the latest iso. All you save is the download time, and you will pay that back with interest as it updates.

I didn't have a product key that would work. In the end I didn't need one. I guess there was one stashed in my UEFI after all, it's just the tool i used to check for it didn't pick it up for some reason (though it was in the registry of my old install)
Like an elephant, I didn't check the back of my PC for the product key - the fact that there was one of those product key labels on the disc envelope which was defaced had me fixated on that, rather than it occurring to me that they could have put it somewhere else. Anyway, it didn't matter because I had that product key from the registry of my old install.
It didn't work on any of those isos i could download from microsoft.
It *does* work if i choose "i don't have a product key" - then it activates. Also didn't occur to me to try that, since i had a product key.
I still think it's weird that the product key won't work. It *is* the product key for this machine.

Check your hardware.
In an earlier life I worked as the "IT-guy" handling a few hundred computers, servers and networks, and if it wasn't a driver issue (seldom), it was a hardware issue (usually).
Hardware issues can be hard to pinpoint, sometimes it's even a combination that won't play nice
|
|
|

My hardware is fine and brand new. The new system drive was unboxed the day of the install.
The issue was that old windows 10 isos hate Ryzen cpus.
Changing the iso fixed the problem.

I'll write that down as a driver issue (hardware not supported), even if there's no driver involved.
Out of curiosity: Did you get any warnings?
|
|
|
|
|
It's a bug in Microsoft produced drivers. they also put a typo in one of of their USB drivers in that iso and they were registering a CPU device as a "USB HID Button" and failing to install it (of course)

So they HID the driver?
Sorry, couldn't resist
|
|

Actually, that's accurate. 
I don't know if it's related to the bluescreen issue. I just know there's at least one, perhaps two errors in that ISO and one of them was making it bluescreen.

Here in Florida I have Spectrum service. On an Ethernet connection (not WiFi) I get 496 MB/s. That is more than we need.
