As an aside, the mini-PC I bought off Aliexpress is disappointing; its
BIOS does not support booting off its USB or network ports. The only
thing it can boot off of is its single internal mSATA III port, which
makes installing an OS pretty difficult. What a shame to cripple a
device that way. I know I could buy an adapter, plug the mSATA III
drive into another PC, install the OS on that, put it back in, and try
to sort out all the hardware discrepancies, but what if I want to change
the OS again someday? I guess I'll be paying to ship this one back, and
get to start over again. If I buy it online, I'll have them send me a
picture of the BIOS set to boot off USB.
