System Comfiguration to get started

[fiorano]

Hi,

Can anyone point in the direction of a thread that will take me from configuring Windows 10 with some AMD GPUs onto installing mining software and a good pool to start mining coins with (dont mind which coin to start with - just keen to cut my teeth) ?

Many thanks,

Fiorano

If you want to get started while you learn I would suggest just heading over to Nicehash and start mining right away since you don't care what coin you are mining it will just convert it to BTC for you and you can start earning now.  While that is running you can take a look at some different coins, mining software, and what BIOS flash you may want to do to get the most out of your cards.

A good resource to get you started for mining software and programs take a look at the post below.
