    In theory, I am looking for an ISO link, to get aquainted with ten, and once a usable Win11 beta is available to have a look at that... (I am still on Win7!)

    Thank you-
     
  2. Dont test most worst OS in this world ie win10 by lookwise you will love it but by f**k**g tel bloat & several ps scripts running in background whenever you connect your system to online world you will hate it most worst n will always be busy in your system testing testing n testing , improving , improving & improving.
    Win7 is a Ultimate OS till date i love to use it on daily basis & it never let me down in any scenario.

    Kind Regards,
    Sincerely

    I totall agree, I do not want to leave my 7ulti, but in 2023 it might become unusable... So I want to see again what Win 10 is like, and see its details by using it in a virtual box only...
    My idea is, that it will help me understand Win11...

    You can install any win 10 version in vbox, and "win 11" atm is just 10 with a new GUI, just looks different.

    Sorry, my question may be not clear...
    I have tried 10 only when it came out and wnet back to 7 after three days or so, I would need a link to use which iso, and how to install (if help is necessary).
    It seems 11 will be able to run APKs...

    Use Windows 10 Edu/Ent, optimize it with scripts from M$ for VDI and it runs pretty well in Virtualbox on my machine.

    I use VMware or Virtualbox, Both are good, But the Virtualbox is 100% Free and VMware Pro is not free and They have VMware Player which is free and limited..

    Use optimization script from M$, it will strip of the OS of useless UWP apps, change GP, registry settings. OS will be more lighter on resources although, Onedrive, edge, cortana is still present.

    I could not disagree more. This opinion is really out there, and reminiscent of tin-foil-hat wearers. Just run it as it is.

    It is subjective, if his machine can handle Win10 AS-IS in VM then so be it. M$ has optimization scripts, have a 72 min read-time article mentioning why to optimize, so I tested and it does work, reduces UWP to bare minimum also various registry entries, services, etc.

    Surely you have heard that f.e. allowing a maximum of telemetry on your computer is something that quite a lot of people do not consider a good idea.
    And that the opinions of people who call others tinfoil-hatters are not really high on the list of priorities of people with an IQ above 80?
