I just installed a Windows 10 machine. It made me configure the settings for the install. To a non-technical person, that is an install because they have to answer “technical” questions.
Congratulations on all your installs. You’ve made us proud!

To those of us who do this for a living, words mean things. If you start saying phrases like "install the OS" that actually means something very specific, and is not a general phrase that means "configure this thing so I can look at Facebook."
How are choosing your language, choosing a user account name, and choosing a time zone "technical" questions? Those are not technical questions. Technical questions would be "do you want IPv6 and IPv4 enabled on your NICs, or IPv4 only?" or "do you prefer manufacturer's drivers or reference drivers for your video card?" etc. No questions like this are being asked when you unbox a new laptop from Wal Mart or Dell.
