-===== WIP =====
-The content below is a copy/paste of my older work build for Windows 10 1703. There is a lot of BS here due to some issues 1703 introduced that I'm hoping to streamline when I go through building 1803(?) whenever that comes out. Some of the steps are specific to how I do things at work, and some steps are probably unnecessary regardless. As I refine this guide, sections will move up out of WIP.
-References to keep in mind for next build:
