    The windows one seems exaggerated until you try to set it up with a regular local account.

    Setting up a scratch install VM is such a pain.

      Setting up a local user account only is easy. Shift+f10 to open command prompt and then run OOBE\BYPASSNRO and then you can run the setup with zero network requirements and zero account requirements.

        That no longer works.

        Tried it on my girlfriend’s new gaming laptop about 4 months ago and it did nothing, so just went back to using my custom Rufus install.

            It’s a simple command, kinda hard to mess up repeatedly.

            It’s probably something to do with which Windows edition is used. This was just a consumer grade laptop after all

      Yeah, setup win 10 install on qemu may need to jump some hoop, especually when you want to enable features like gpu pass through.

      Although qemu may not be as easy as virtualbox/vmware, the performance is worth it.
