I'm upgrading my Chuwi lapbook to a 256 GB main drive (from 120), think I'm going to throw Neptune on it once it's upgraded.

Just finished installing Rosa R10 and the install for some reason went differently versus the first time. Nothing major but not sure why it happened.

Still using Neptune on one USFF and a laptop.

Reporting back as the free 7010s are running great and i love the design of the case as everything is easy to access, with excellent cooling.

Also no longer running Neptune on the USFF and laptop. Laptops are all using MX17 now and the USFF has Rosa R10 now.

Tried to run Neptune on my main desktop 7010 that uses a Nvidia GPU card and was originally run on that system but it wont boot. Works fine on the other 7010's with Intel IGP very odd.

Reinstalled Neptune on my main system and its running fine so have no clue what was going on as this hard drive was used for the original install of Neptune on this same system.
