Need Advice for New PC

Well again, a big thank you to @DanDaredum for helping me. I jumped on that really nice price for the Lenovo computer! Just finally got it setup yesterday. Albeit, it feels like it’s been two days since I have installed Flight Simulator and its moving really slow with the Installation Manager. Yesterday, I guess I was asking a little too much doing other stuff and then the computer gave me the Blue Screen of Death. I restarted the download process and then continued this morning around 10. It’s now 7:34pm and it’s still running–well that was after yet another hiccup it had. I then decided to start it in “Safe Mode”. Is this normal for how slow the installation process is?

Yep, sure is… you can check out this thread (one of several).

Initial install is usually an overnight thing depending on your Internet speed, your location to the MS servers etc. .
For me my speed is 50mbps. I’ll let it download overnight and hopefully it’s done by mid morning. A WIfi 5 or above router is recommended if doing wireless. Make sure your computer doesn’t sleep during download.
