i rufus'd a win11 iso
i booted normally and activated its window license.
i then mounted the win11 iso
and double clicked it.
and installed it that way.
On a n150 without updating the bios first?
yep, literally the computer from this deal.
worked fine
clarifiaction: i first booted with the provided win11 install on the machine
then the iso mounted then double clicked on setup
opnsense installed fine from a bootable usb. Maybe windows specific?
Is there a mobile app to manage opnsense, similar to the Unifi Network app?
I don't know, this is my first time dipping a toe into opnsense. A quick google tends to imply there are a couple for android, but I have no idea how feature rich they would be. Hopefully the web site is responsive enough that it doesn't matter for my use case.
Glad I went with the N97 version just for the extra storage space. I have 60GB free out of 500GB. Loaded with retro!
anyone know if you can programmatically change the colour of the led light in the base (not via bios)?
Does anyone have the g2 plus driver pack? The google drive version from the website says download limit is reached
I've had a bit more luck with downloading the drivers/OS after signing into Google Drive, so give that a try.
I did a clean install of windows however Windows 11 isnt showing as activated now as it appears the license key wasnt saved to the bios.
Yup i just used that lol.
Sorry for the dumb question. Bought one of these and hooked it up to my monitor. Im assuming i need a cabled keyboard to do the setup process .
Or a 2.4ghz wireless keyboard.
It wants me to go through a setup 1st.
I have a wireless keyboard and mouse but how do i connect them prior to the set-up
If your wireless keyboard and mouse use a 2.4Ghz usb dongle all should be fine. Bluetooth won’t work until windows is working.
Have a 87w power brick and the N97 won’t go over 2.9GHz. Weird.

Edit just found this on the N range:
All core turbo is 2900Mhz, 1 core is 3600Mhz. 2 core is ~3400Mhz
Every time it is runs it varies a lot, so just gonna enjoy retro gaming on it. Sega Model 3 is sweet!!!
Fellow Non tech ppl be advised installing new Win OS may not be smooth sailing. I activated the OS it came with, rufused new Win ios from MS site, ran the usb from inside original Win. Eventually failed “ 0x8007000D - 0x2000C
The installation failed in the SAFE OS phase with an error during APPLY MAGE operation”. Won’t bother trying again, I don’t find this fun, already a few hours wasted. Getting a refund. Another thing to consider, eventually needing to use drivers sourced from GMKtek rather than the MS update process worries me. If I was happy to do that I wouldn’t bother attempting a ‘safe’ Win install.
N97 version. Happy with using the default. Windows updates working fine so far for me.
Has anyone had issues with their GMKtec failing to restart? Shutdown works fine but restart results in no signal until i hold down the power button and port it back on. Reset the bios already. Had this issue with a clean install of windows 11 which somehow resolved itself… just installed Ubuntu on it and its now happening on that
Sorry no issues on mine at this stage. Touch wood!
Yep. I think it restarts, but doesn't pick up the monitor.
Hold down F7 or Esc as it reboots. It seems to get confused when I switch which OS to boot from.
Oh dual booting???
Check ur bios first. Mine was already on the latest version. Was able to install proxmox without any issue
