It's been my experience that once Microsoft got Windows 10 going that just about all of the legacy products that run on Windows 7 became just so much junk -- save for a few. On-line communication became almost impossible because browsers were upgraded with 10. Then there is the memory issue. Windows 10 eats memory (or should I say wastes memory) like a hungry dog will hoover a pound of meat. Before Windows 10 finally calmed down I had to increase my RAM to 2-gBytes. WTF?! It is time to upgrade. There are plenty of good deals out there. You just have to shop around. |

Most machines now have sufficient RAM that Windows 10 is not an issue. My old HP laptop has 16Gb and I just got a refurbished HP desktop from Amazon to act as a Roon Bridge for $230 and it has 32Gb, an i7 processor and a 1Tb SSD. I am connecting to it remotely with NoMachine at Roscoe's suggestion. |

ReactOS is working, but is a bit slow. Internet works, but browser is slow. Whatever that virus program that you can include from them, is definately taking forever just to scan. Overall, I consider it sucessful. I loaded an alternative operating system (which was a goal) and loaded an alternative operating system virtually (which was another goal). |

Anybody use Windows to create a virtual drive with the program that you use to reassign drive letters and such? |

I have installed VMWare Player (free) on my Ubuntu 20.04 machine and installed Win 10 as a virtual machine. I try to use windows as little as possible. I use it to run IMGburn, CD label printer (Canon printer), programming Logitech Harmony remotes, and programming miniDSP processors/crossovers. |
