lol, the good old days. Install DOS, I think it was 3 or 4 floppies, install Windows 3.1, another dozen or so floppies, then office, another 2 dozen or so floppies. That was an all day affair. Insert, click mouse, buzz, buzz, wash rinse and repeat.
A few hours?? It usually takes me 15 minutes to install windows from USB. Then dash over to ninite.com for favourite apps and install Office 2013 and you're done inside an hour if that.
The initial install goes quick. It's the setup afterward that adds time to it. Run Windows update manually, once or twice, or more. Uninstall the preinstalled Apps I don't want or use. Change the locations of all my user folders. Set time zone and Country. Install language packs to get Cortonna to actually work. Install office. Switch default to IE, etc, etc.
