I feel sure that there are Windows utilities out there to do it but I've never used one, Nero looks promising but will of course have a proliferation of options unknown to we two.
From the instructions ......
Burn iso to USB. Use Universal USB installer https://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal ... -as-1-2-3/
So simple to use it's embarrassing and works every time...... I don't know why I bother writing instructions that no one follows :roll: I'll get my coat now .. :violent2:

Anyone doing Collatz on a GTX1070 of any brand? Wondered how they compared to the 1080
I think this is fool-proof but could you just try it for me please? • There are 10 types of people in the world; those who understand binary, and those who don’t

Yes. Beagle has a 1070 installed and on Collatz. 525 secs on average for a collatz task using optimisation.

It was an AMD 7970 hence why it is one of 3 systems I have that are doze. 7 is acceptable. :D Pulled AMD, stuck in 1070, installed drivers and went offshore.

I assume no keyboard, mouse or monitor. So BoincTasks and PC Anywhere type software? And do you BUY Win 7?

I'd be lost without "ssh -Y" :-)
