Probably the easiest way to try it is with VirtualBox as it has a fairly clear GUI install process. Set up a basic Win10 system with 20GB of disk and 2GB of RAM and test it. You'll need a Windows installer image of course (DVD or ISO file). However with 4GB of host memory it's going to be less than ideal. Adding another 4GB stick (and reconfiguring the VM to use 4GB, with whatever additional disk space you need) would probably make a noticeable difference. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
