Mounting in the car
I run a permanent setup where the laptop is powered by 12v and fix mounted and locked to the console. I am using an Industrial Evolution In Dash Mounting System which is working really well.
Running Windows 11 Finally!
Took some effort to get this going, but in the end it was super simple. Used Rufus to build a bootable USB stick. Once done, you could simply run the setup.exe file from the USB stick itself and go through the upgrade process without having to delete anything. Simple and now running Windows 11 and no need to think about changing laptop anytime soon.
