It immediately ran Windows Update (something I was trying to postpone, but wasn't successful at. I tried to create a local account using an old keyboard that I didn't know was broken. So, I plugged the router in. That's when I realized the keyboard was no good)

But it installed the fall 23 and fall 24 megaupdates in only an hour or so. No problems at all. Only one reboot was involved! It went very smooth!

Just gotta create a recovery, clean out bloatware etc.
