How to Install Windows 11

So I posted a video on reinstalling Windows, with Windows 11. 

There is a story behind how that happened. I had the T460s that I was using to record videos. On the last video, while doing subtitles, the speakers started acting up and pretty much broke. So then, I ordered a pair of replacement speakers, and 16GB of RAM to add to it. 

While all of that was shipping, I found a T470 on Facebook Marketplace from a local seller going really cheap. So I decided to buy it. Turns out, it was a laptop in really good shape, with 16GB RAM, a SIM card slot, and touchscreen! So the new RAM went on it - making it a 32GB RAM laptop, perfect for running a bunch of virtual machines for the day when I demonstrate Kubernetes! And that has become my primary personal laptop.

In the process, I again had to reinstall Windows and Linux on it. Meanwhile, a video capture card I had ordered also arrived in the mail. So I figured, can I capture the boot / BIOS screens? And the idea formed, of doing a video on reinstalling Windows. 

Especially, now that I have a touchscreen ThinkPad, I might as well sell off the Microsoft Surface that I had bought (again used) sometime back for a touchscreen device? So if I do that, I will want to point my buyer at a video on how to reinstall Windows? Although, maybe I'll keep the Surface - we'll see.

Anyhow - here's the video:

I might do another on how to do a dual boot install of Linux on it later. We'll see.

New YouTube channel - Code with Matt Varghese!

I've been working on learning and using the NodeJS ecosystem with pure TypeScript - no JavaScript, nor JavaScript style code in TypeScript files. Looking online for tutorials on YouTube, even the ones with a lot of views and lot of subscribers seem to be hack-job tutorials. So some part of me felt like maybe I should make a YouTube tutorial?At the very least, it would be an exercise in my ability to design curriculum and teach?

So I have launched a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCs2xrnLFzKFeZMhwn7_CquQ) and a first video - this is kinda prerequisite of setting up a Linux virtual machine to work in. Also bought a microphone and set up my desk to be able to record videos.

Here's the first video.

And here's the desk and microphone setup.

I'm kinda planning the next few videos to be

1. Intro and setting up a console project for TypeScript on NodeJS

2. Basic types in TypeScript

3. Capturing user input

etc.
