I’d like to never boot into Windows again. I have VirtualBox installed where I can install Windows 11 if I need to but is there anything that it(Windows on a VM) wouldn’t be able to do like accessing hardware devices? Thanks in advance

    There are workarounds to almost every issue you may have. You can run Windows in a VM for software that requires it, or dual boot. M$ Office can be ran in a browser now. There is no reason to buy a license, just DL windows10 direct from M$ and never register, all they do is lock you out of some display options and add a watermark to your desktop.

      Last I checked, Pearson doesn’t allow Linux for remote tests, nor will they let you use a VM.

      I know there were ways to skirt their VM detection, but is that worth the risk for 10s of thousands of dollars in your education?
