The Trials and Tribulations Of Installing New Lab Computers

So I was able to acquire the new Lab computers without an issue (huge thanks to Jeff–the wonderful sysadmin–for helping me!). I slapped a 1TB SSD in both of them and it was off to the races…almost. Unfortunately,  the very expensive software that we need to use requires Windows. The Lab machines were running Ubuntu, so I contacted ITS to see if they could install Windows on the new Lab machines. After much back and forth, the ultimate answer was yes! Now, with the new Lab machines equipped with Windows, we are finally ready to put them to work.
