Clean install or upgrade? I ask because historically the best way to move to a new version of Windows is via a clean install, including deleting the partition table.

In my experience it's true with Debian and Ubuntu too.

I use diskpart to "clean" the systems drive. That removes everything from the drive - all partitions and even the type of drive (gpt or mbr) then I convert the drive to gpt but do not create partitions. Then I do a clean install on the gpt drive. Windows will create the necessary partitions as part of the install.

Market caps: gold ~$11 trillion, BTC ~$1 trillion, fiat ~$100 trillion.
Central banks still buy gold. I don't know of one that has bought BTC, though El Salvador recently made BTC legal tender, alongside the USD.
And the IMF specifically prohibits any member country from linking its currency to gold. Governments hate competition for their toilet paper.

I don't think anyone believes in BC, just the Chinese. They seem to buy everything.

I don't and neither does Amazon or any other online retailers or even brick and mortar stores. No where that I spend money accepts gold.

Not necessarily. If you wish source code compatibility with a program written under Linux, gcc for Windows might be your best option.

Most definitely the correct answer. MinGW + CMake are pretty much straightforward. Though I don't know if it can crosscompile?

I've been through this myself.
Sometimes you come upon some _simple_ thing and you remember it is 2021 (and all the stuff you had to go through back in 1995) and your eyeballs bulge out of your head (because of the pressure built up in your brain, from thinking about the contrast of how simple a thing could be and comparing it to the absolute crazy reality and then noticing it is 2021 & this simple stuff is as difficult (or more so) than it was in 1995). 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Msys2 has GCC builds for Windows, along with a full unix style toolchain based on Cygwin, and using the Pacman package manager. They even provide a ton of other tools and libraries.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Yeah - MSYS2 was what I ended up using.
But still...
