Windows will run without activation for a limited time in full, after that things start to become unavailable, so for testing its fine

Time to start looking at hardware then, have you checked the power connections to GPU and removed and reseated it ?

Other than installing a second SSD I haven't poked around inside. To be clear: you want me to ONLY check the power connections and replace them back in, or check those AND remove the GPU and replace?

Yeah, pretty much, check the power connections are secure, remove and replace the GPU from the motherboard. I would do the same with RAM too.

If there was a windows.old folder then you haven't clean installed.
You've just upgraded your hookey installation. You have to do a proper clean install

All done. Nothing looked untoward. The 2 ram sticks aren't placed together (there's 4 slots, they are placed on slot 1 and 3, or 2 and 4 depending on which way is up). I'm guessing this is fine and perhaps better for heat dissipation.
RAM is supposed to be paired like that
Slot 1 & 3 are "linked" and 2 & 4 are "linked" so that is the proper set up
Might be worth reseating the GPU too mate it's very easy to do and sometimes dust in the slot can cause odd problems

You don't need to, link is above, it will be fine for testing. Oh really! I specifically searched for demos via MS website and all they presented was Enterprise edition for a 90 day trial. Downloading now. Many thanks!
There are optional updates available, you may as well investigate those if you’ve come this far.
