    How to quickly build a NUC using free legal tools
    I looked at a lot of PCs before I chose the NUC. I'm a big fan of Mini-PCs and Thunderbolt 3. I wanted an i7 CPU and 2 M.2 NVMe SSD bays. I needed a VR-capable machine because I'm an AI/VR programmer. I already had 32GB of DDR4 SODIMM and an 250GB NVMe SSD so I completed this computer for $900. Not to mention 2x 4K Dell Monitors, an Alien FX keyboard and a Logitech Gaming mouse (all wired). This is the perfect computer for me right now and has expansion capabilities for the future.I'm not going to get into how many FPS Battlefield 3 runs at but I am going to give brief instructions on assembling the kit from start-to-finish in a an hour our two.This review is focused on assembling a NUC Kit from a bare-metal state like it's sent in this "kit".You will need the following items in addition to the NUC8 from this order:1) SODIMM DDR4 2,400+ Memory - MAX 2x 16GB Chips2) NVMe/SATA M.2 SSD (NVMe preferred)3) 8/16GB USB Memory Stick Formatted ExFat and blank4) Microsoft Media Creation Tool for Windows 10 downloaded from Microsoft onto the USB Stick5) A Philips head screw driver (plus the included Allen wrench)6) A Wi-Fi or hard-wired network connection7) A mouse, keyboard, and monitor wireless or cabled (I used cabled)Open up the NUC following the included instructions and install the DDR4 memory and the (NVMe) M.2 SSD. Replace the cover and re-insert the ribbon cable on the inner-lid if you want the skull LCD to light up. Leave it disconnected if you don’t care for the skull.1) Insert Bootable Media Creation USB drive in Yellow USB port on front of NUC2) With monitor, keyboard, power and mouse hooked up, turn on PC3) If done correctly, your NUC will boot to the Install Windows 10 screen. Follow the instructions and enter the Windows 10 Product Key when prompted (if you have one; otherwise, skip for now).4) Once Windows has completed installing, under Control Panel, check Device Manager. See my photo and you will see that the TPS65988 device driver was not found.5) Run Windows Update (in the Setting section under Updates & Security) – repeatedly if necessary -- until there are no more updates.6) Go to the Intel website and click on Support. Download and install The Intel Driver & Support Assistant. Reboot your computer and return the Intel Support page and Scan your system using the tool Intel Driver & Support Assistant using the browser. Not only does it find the TPS65988 driver but it also finds seven other drivers that have updates.7) Download and install all of the drivers. Note: It is NOT necessary to Restart after each driver installs. After the final driver has installed, restart the computer ONCE.That’s it. You now have updated drivers for every single device and your NUC is fully operational. Check Device Manager and every Device will have an up-to-date driver.NOTE: If you didn’t enter a Windows Product Key earlier, you can do so now under Control Panel->System.Make a backup and call it NUC Windows 10 – Clean Install.Feel free to contact me if you have questions.
