You could always do what I do with mine: use Rufus to install Windows to one of Framework's storage modules in "Windows2Go" mode, and then just pop that in when you need to turn your otherwise-BSD laptop into a Windows laptop. Since the storage module fits flush with the laptop's chassis, it doesn't have the jank factor that you'd usually feel from running off a USB drive.
The only downside is that you lose a module slot, which hurts when you've only got four of 'em like with the Framework 13. It'd be neat to see storage modules that expose Type-C ports of their own, making this downside less painful.
- mcflubbins 2y agoThat's not a bad idea. Thanks for the suggestion I might go that route! My adventures of swapping out the internal NVME drive have not been very good. I have to disable secure boot for FreeBSD and then re-enable it for Windows (else have to hand-enter a bitlocker key) and even when doing that Windows "forgets" my Pin and Fingerprint. Possibly due to the way I set it Windows initially but still, annoying. Recently picked up a new WiFi card that works with FreeBSD but haven't had a chance to install it yet.
