If you don't mind downloading a lot of unnecessary compiling tools, Microsoft has pre built image for virtual box, VMware and more at https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/downloads/virtual-machines/
The VM is license free but only good for 30/60 days, I can't remember which. I haven't dual booted windows in about 2 years for the exact reason Nigel mentioned -- it will remove grub and install its own bootloader (which doesn't normally see Linux last I checked) Tony. ________________________________ From: [email protected] <[email protected]> on behalf of Nigel A.

I was dual booting but Windows updates seem to destroy GRUB too easily.

If you're willing to install, you can get the free (non-commercial use) VM from VmWare, and a Win-10 Pro disk off eBay for ~ $25. And if you later realize you made the initial Win partition to small, like me, EaseUS has a free partition management tool that was fairly intuitive. I went this route so I could run the OEM, Win-only SW for my DMR HT and updating my Garmin GPS.
