Setting up new lap top???

I picked up my new lap top earlier today.
I have not thought about it too much other than today...and I cant remember what I did when I set up for the ZWO 1600
Probably a good idea to use it only for the mount and the camera and do DSS, Startools and Photoshop on my desk top although probably having these on the lap top would be handy so what are members thoughts on this given that I will buy Photoshop and Startools and maybe put them on both the new laptop and the old desk top.

So I expect to download from ASCOM the following from their list of driver downloads which appears on the left of the Home>Downloads>Telescope/Mount Drivers ..screen:-

Camera and Video...Filter Wheels... Telescope/Mount.

Although I dont need filter wheels as this laptop is primarily for the RASA 11 so maybe not worry about that one.. And I will leave the ZWO 1600 drivers just for my old lap top.

Next thing download drivers from ZWO for the camera (ZWO2600mono)

Then, maybe, PHD guiding although I hope not to guide the RASA.

Then Sharpcap and pay the fee to get the extra features.

Then Startools and Photoshop to go on both the new laptop and the old desk top.

Mmm probably first some type of security thing ..any suggestions on which croud to use?

I am trying to think of anything that I have missed.
