I picked up a 35W model a few months ago. I installed a 512GB SSD and Linux Mint Debian Edition, and it flies. Really nice machine if you can get a good price.

I was a Peppermint person for a long time since it ran on ancient laptops but I'm more into Cinnamon these days. I'll have to try it again on the G2.

@@brettb.345 Thank you for answering. Bios is not recognising SSD. Tried everything to copy Windows 10 on it, but without success.

They are great units. A G2 was my first.

Just make sure you are getting what you need. Lots of them are missing components like WiFi. And there are sometimes different port configurations on the back.

They really set the stage for the following units. Beware, they are addicting and crave more of their kind 😉

Windows doesn't officially install on 6th Gen Intel. 8th Gen probably is where the support begins. For that matter, even Prodesk G4s are also good.

I've had good experiences running windows 11 from the G1 all the way to the G5. In a future video I hope to cover the issues with windows 11 and older units.

Hello! How did you get to install Windows 11 Pro without a problem on a 6th generation CPU? Did you use one of those tricks to install Windows 11 for unsupported hardware? Which one? I have an i7-6700 HP SFF and it passes all the requirements except for the CPU. Microsoft says supported hardware are those with 8th generation and higher Intel CPUs.

I actually just use the same SATA drive when I do my testing of new units I buy. Windows will even pull down new drivers based on what it sees on the machine. I recently created a second drive and had no issue doing the install. Unfortunately I can't quite remember which machine I used though 😉. My advice would be to grab the latest ISO for Windows 11 from Microsoft. Create a bootable USB drive or better yet look into using Ventoy, which I use. Use the drive to install a fresh copy onto your NVME or SATA drive.
