Guides for the hardware and Windows setup Salad depends on: identifying parts, drivers, virtualization and WSL, networking, remote access and working with Support.
Everything about the machine Salad runs on: finding out what hardware you have, keeping GPU drivers healthy, enabling virtualization and WSL for container jobs, networking and remote access, and what to send Support when you need help.
