The BMax B1 Pro Mini PC: Unboxing & Setting Up this Compact Powerhouse!

[@fbushphone]

Been running mine for 6 months with Linux mint on the internal SSD.M2. Win 11 pro on the built in storage. The Win install is customised by the supplier (Bmax) for the level of processor. Suppliers (and users) can do this with Win pro version. Do not connect to internet on first boot up - Microsoft will override the suppliers configuration. On first boot only connect and update after Windows has loaded. You will have a local account on the pc - this is possible because of the suppliers configuration. I am totally happy with their configuration as I would have done something similar myself. In bios you can set boot up on power. So when I plug into wall socket computer boots up - saves fiddling with tiny button on pc case. I have a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse. It's fanless so pc is totally silent. The pc is easily mounted on the back of my monitor and I've had no problems.

I like the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse but on initial boot up it may not work so I always start with a wired usb keyboard and mouse
