+With it, you will be able to use Radeon GPU as your only GPU,
+with your actual display connected to Radeon as a primary display,

 ## Limitations

+**Note that you will still have to add a virtual GPU to your VM,
+otherwise Windows won't boot.**
+
+Note that it will add 1-5 minutes both to startup and to shutdown time.
+So don't panic if your screen is black immediately after VM startup,
+it is expected.

 ## Install instructions
 
+Put `RadeonResetBugFixService.exe` in a permanent location.
+
 In elevated command prompt in Guest VM, run
 
 ```
 RadeonResetBugFixService.exe install
 ```
 
-Then check that everything works correctly by opening Services (`services.msc`),
+The screen may go blank several times during the process.
-locating Radeon Reset Bug Fix Service there and starting or restarting it.
+It may take up to 15 minutes total (but should take less than 5).
-The display connected to Radeon GPU should go dark and then work again.
+
+Do not remove the file after that, or the service won't be able to start or stop.
+The `install` command does not create any copies, does not create a folder in `Program Files`,
+it simply adds a service to Windows, but the service refers to the `exe` file you invoked.
