There's quite a few devices yellow banged in device manager but I did find
the HD graphics which helped quite a bit.

Yes! I played with Rufus also yesterday, but I didn't do the ISO image
transfer part. Now it worked, and installed on an SD card without complaints. 

It took about 10 minutes with rufus, using the other documentation it was
hours and required installing n+1 programs and devkits (and didn't work)
Simple is beautiful :-)
