stormdogEverything we ordered for Miriam's computer has arrived except the M.2 SSD. As of the beginning of the week, it was about a week overdue. I contacted the seller who said they'd send another. They didn't give me tracking info though, or say when it would arrive.
My own PC has two hard drives that were in a RAID 1, but at some point the mirror broke so the second drive was unused. I took that drive out of my computer and put it in hers, made an SD card into boot media, and installed Windows 10 on her machine. Everything is working great!
Today, of course, I got a note that her SSD should be here this evening. I knew that leaving for the restroom at a restaurant causes your food to show up, but it seems the same principle applies to other circumstances.

Building this computer is so different from the ones I've done in the past! No optical drive. No expansion cards except the video card. No spinning media. It's like there's nothing in there!
