Microsoft has announced that Windows 10 support will end later this year, meaning nearly half of Steam users should probably upgrade.

    For anything that HAS to work and only runs on Windows (eat a dick Siemens) I put it in a VM with no network connection. A physical machine that gets regular updates is too unstable to rely on.

    When ever I’m teaching a new guy I try to get them on board with using VMs at at minimum for reliability and a VM under Linux if they are interested.

      I’m having a problem finding VM software I can use for free that isn’t a trial, or requires an account/login.
