I went with Windows 10 Professional. I bought OEM copy off ebay for $47 from someone with hundreds of satisfied customers.  I then installed Nicehash. Done.  They tweak all cards for you and start generating you cash immediately.   Also you can transfer your daily earnings from nicehash internal wallet to coinbase instantly with no fees, which is good for me.  I am not concerned about the hack back in december where $67 million was stolen, since I can transfer the $20 something dollars I make each day into coinbase for free.. worst case scenario I'd lose like $20.

I recommend using WIn 10 because WIN 10 automatically detects and is easier to overcome if you experience problems when GPU is not detected.

For OC / Mod BIos pretty much in this thread, how to do OC / Mod Bios. and some also provide OC / Mod bios settings based on their experience.

And what about overclocking the 1070ti

What is your mining card and do you do any overclocking setup

I'm not aware of any sophisticated 1070ti overclock thread.

put in google "overclock 1070ti site:bitcointalk.org" and search your own

Hey Jacks.elmson,
I would highly recommend checking out EthOS, which is an open source operating system designed specifically for automated mining. EthOS automates a lot of the day-to-day work surrounding mining, and the system even generates fantastic analytics reports which you can view from the web. You can read more about it here: http://ethosdistro.com/. This guide will also show you how to overclock your GPUs on EthOS: https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/guides/how-to-use-ethos-to-manage-your-ether-mining/. I hope this helps!
