+For physical machines, see the manufacturer's documentation.
+
+Secure Boot can be enabled later for physical machines. It's unnecessary for VMs.

+This section is 1.4-1.7 of the [Arch Linux Installation Guide](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Installation_guide).

 1. Once again open Hyper-V Manager.
 2. Select your VM, and click `Settings`
 3. Select `SCSI Controller` on the left

+### On Physical Machine
+With Secure Boot disabled, insert the bootable USB and boot from it.

+## Enter the Install Medium
+Select `Arch Linux install medium (x86_64, UEFI)`, which should be the first option,

+## Connect to internet
+:::tip
+For Ethernet connection, it will automatically work when the cable is plugged in.
+
+For Hyper-V, make sure the external virtual switch is connected to the correct network adapter. See [here](../hyperv/virtual-switch.md)
+:::
+
+To connect to internet using Wi-Fi, run
+```bash
+iwctl
+```
+List the Wi-Fi devices
+```
+device list
+```
+:::warning
+We will assume the Wi-Fi device is `wlan0`. See the output of `device list` to confirm the device name.
+:::
+If the device is powered off, turn it on
+```
+device wlan0 set-property Powered on
+```
+Then, initiate a scan (note there will be no output) and list available networks
+```
+station wlan0 scan
+station wlan0 get-networks
+```
+
+To connect to a network, run the following, and type in the password.
+```
+station wlan0 connect <SSID>
+```
+
+Then, exit by
+```
+quit
+```
+
 ## Verify internet connection
-1. Run `ip address`
-2. You should see an local address starting with `192.168` indicating that your VM is connected to your local network. If not, you might need to change the network adapter the external virtual switch is connecting to.
-3. Run `ping archlinux.org` to verify connection
-4. Ctrl-C to stop pinging
+
+First verify that your machine is connected to the local network
+```bash
+ip address
+```
+You should see an local address starting with `192.168` indicating that the machine is connected to your local network.
+:::tip
+For Hyper-V, if the connection is not working, you might need to change the network adapter the external virtual switch is connecting to.
+:::
+
+Then, verify you have internet connection
+```bash
+ping archlinux.org
+```
+Press `Ctrl-C` to stop pinging
 
 ## Setup SSH
-1. Run `passwd` to set the root password
+With SSH, we can install the system from the device you are reading this guide on.
+So you can copy and paste commands from this guide to the terminal.
+
+Run `passwd` to set a short, temporary password
 :::tip
 This will not be the root password for the OS you are installing. This is the root password for the live environment. Type something simple like `change` so you can type it quickly.
 :::
-2. Inside Powershell, ssh to the VM. Replace `<ip-address>` with the IP address you got from `ip address`
+
+Then, on the host system, run
 ```
 ssh root@<ip-address>
 ```
-3. Enter the password you just set
-4. You should now see the same prompt
