https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/windows-vm/ I'd suggest installing Windows 7 over Windows 10 if you don't have specific requirements: win7 uses lower resources, is more tested by other Qubes users, and you can install Qubes Windows Tools (although it's a bit convoluted and there are known issues on 4.0 - see the doc). > Do I risk my privacy with the additional windows installation? That depends on what you do with your windows VM :) For instance my windows VM doesn't have internet access, I only allow manually the windows update sites when I need to update something so I should be OK. I always consider it "untrusted" anyway. > I thought about Virtualbox, but that's also a virtual machine. I don't think you can run Virtualbox in Qubes anyway (nested virtualization), and if you do it'll be inefficient. > What about Linux Wine? I used it a long time ago before using Qubes, it was a hit or miss depending on the program you'd run. You'll probably have issues with graphics if your program uses openGL (qubes doesn't support it). If you need a windows VM only to run one or two windows apps, then yes, you should try to install wine first and test if it works - if it does it'll be much more resource efficient than using a full-blown VM. hope this helps ! ivan > > Of course, I'm looking forward to your help again. > > regards > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
