So im looking at getting new gear for a mining rig rather than trying to find out what my okd pc can run....or not as the case may be.

This is a really noob question but ive got to ask. How do i install win10? I understand ill need an SSD but is that sata or usb?

You don't need SSD, any old harddrive will do. As long as its SATA it will work.

Then you can use a USB stick.

Download Windows, put the image on a bootable USB stick and install like that. Search the web for instructions.
