stupid question - since the HW itself is standard (yes mobile edition) can't you just re-install the miner to run with English version of Win10 and configure it again ? I don't see roadblocks. What is the reason to stick to the original OS ?

The windows licence.

well licences Win10 in Chines is better than illegal Win10 in English? We all know % of ppl that pay for software...

From what I gathered in the other threads on this you need Win 10 Enterprise in order to support 8gpu's. So unless you happen to have an enterprise edition laying around that may be the reason for not replacing it.

I don't recall if anyone mentioned that there were any special drivers or anything needed if you do have to reinstall the OS. So I don't know about dependencies. If it is just a simple reinstall of the OS that would be great. It would then just be the logistics of running down an Enterprise edition of Win 10. Does anyone know if the 90 day trial version stops functioning after the 90 day? Would it be a suitable replacement for the Chinese copy on these machines? https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/evalcenter/evaluate-windows-10-enterprise

well, trial can be used for almost 1 year for free:
1. When it's about to expire open CMD as Administrator.
2. slmgr -rearm
3. Reboot
4. Repeat = 4 times per 90days each
