    It took me a bit to figure out, but winapps might work for you. A couple of applications I use at work require me to have a windows VM, which is still way less of a headache than straight windows.

      Thanks for looking out but sadly it’s a company owned laptop administered by IT.

        On my work laptop I boot to Aurora Linux from an USBC caddy with an M2 SSD inside. The laptop’s internal drive is still factory fresh.

        Ask your IT guy, he might be cool with that. The laptop itself is unchanged. Windows OEM license untouched.

          I guess i haven’t thought much about live booting. I guess that could be nice for travel. Bring one fewer devices.

          Glad you have a cool IT team. As an IT guy, I also want to remind people that if you don’t ask, the answer is automatically no.
