Install VirtualBox, add 2nd hard disk, create VirtualBox VM machine on 2nd hard disk.
Plenty of support Docs showing how to expose USB ports to VM.

If you have decent amount of memory (Min 8gb), and at least Core I5, will run Windows 7/10 very nicely.

Grown ups use VMs, not Wine. LOL

I ran the above for a while (using Debian), then just got 2nd and third laptops, and installed Win 10.. For free... LOL

Still getting 10 to install from scratch on old OEM 7 serials, or maybe I'm lucky?

When offer period was still open, I used Fresh '10 install image, then changed serial, to that on COA sticker on machine.

I only ever buy DELL laptops with '7 COA label. Embarrassed

Cool.

2nd hard disk & 8gb mem dedicated to VM makes all the difference.

However if you buy £130 i5 Dell laptop with 4gb mem & COA, that is even better/simpler.

Buy crap box laptop, I have 2 Toshiba Tecra M5s for this, toss off Linux crap, it simply has no use once you need a GUI, deadbeat, non-achievers belt on allday about the amazing work arounds, whoopee f'ing do.

Since OsX died, (No current power platform, so face book only ) the world is left with windows, buy, learn, embrace, the linux thing ends at shell, once you try and play work with it you need "The dog ate my homework" on a macro key as you will never work at any commercial speed.

Bloody Amen.   Sad though, the beards would not let Linux evolve. Still sitting at the top of their protected tower at my local NHS apparently, coveting their UNIX knowledgeLOL  Meanwhile the minions are on XP

I'm a Linux/UNIX developer by trade, so as Linux paid for my 5 series Msport, & bills, my opinion differs somewhat..

Should add Lev not one of the beards in my commentBig smile  and of course behind the scenes Linux/Unix provides the tools. Desktop though, missed it's chance due to bloody mindedness (IMHO)

Was told some of the firms with more sophisticated UNIX/Linux Devs, standard build is hardened Linux, with Office365..

Now that would be almost perfection, as LibreOffice is close, but not quite Carling.

Let me be VERY clear.

Linux can be deployed to an appliance, "hardened" locked out, if it works on day one, it will work on day 10^100, the issue to me me is pricks either trying to use it as a day-to-day desktop environment, as i say IMHO, it ends at shell so has no desktop, and piling on workarounds, using noddy crap apps (if I send f**king AutoCAD file i want a Autodesk DWG back, not interested in any poverty cad app, etc...) or idiots building systems with default gateways that update from f**repositories ad hoc and crash, if you build a systems that works, just close it there, you have no idea what the prick that wrote a lump of your system might commit next, so orphan the code and let it work, if you need an update, build identical hardware, load the old system, load the updates and test, don't reply on the fact the next iteration committed to a a public repository will meet your needs, it may not.

Basically, if you know how you use linux, crack on, the moment you are posting on a forum how to make it do windows stuff, save your self a trashed gig and spend £50 on the right tool for job.

I loaded Windows 10 on some tarts MacBook pro last week, didn't ask, just blew OSX away and handed it back with the stuff she needed for work, I have ignored all her calls since but she still has her job.

Sorted!

Only experienced Linux beards can use Linux, as a day to day windows replacement desktop, with help only from Google.

I was modifying Minix kernel on my Uni degree,way before Linux made it onto geeks '386 machines..

Yet still, I have 2x duplicate Linux laptops, & a Windows '10 laptop, as nothing beats Office on it.
