If you're using it rarely, why not use the trial version, and reset to a snapshot whenever you use it? You can save data on a separate virtual disk, and only reset the operating system disk.
There used to be VMs at https://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/ https://dev.modern.ie/tools/vms/. I don't see Windows 10 there right now, not sure why, but I know I've downloaded from there before; maybe wait a few weeks or so.
- currysausage 11y agoWould that actually work? Wouldn't the trial version still notice that it was initialized more than 90 days ago? I don't want to initialize the OS whenever I use it.
- ikeboy 11y agoIt doesn't take that long to initialize, and you only need to do it every 90 days. If you get the pre-installed VM, it only takes a couple minutes from first boot to ready to use. Besides, I think you can "rearm" and use for another 90 days or more.
