I don't use Windows, at all - however I just got a new laptop and think I should have some Windows install...

This new laptop is a powerhouse and... is it smart/the norm to run Windows 11 [or 10] in a VM? I don't really want/need to get OUT of Linux - only have Windows when needed. [Running RipTEL or some light steam games.]

And... does my Windows 10 key work for Windows 11? Hmmmmm....

I don't see anything wrong with running Windows in a VM. There are Mac OS and Linux users who do that.

Did your new laptop come with Windows? If so, I'd imagine you could make a backup of that and restore the backup in a VM and see if/how well it works. I've heard current users who bought Windows 10 (or had Windows 10 come with a PC/laptop) should be able to update to Windows 11 for free. I don't know if a Windows 10 key will work for a fresh Windows 11 install, but at least a Windows 10 install could be able to update to Windows 11.

How did you configure your framework laptop?

What's the battery life like?

I've run Windows in Virtualbox for that very reason, but games usually need
more than a virtualized GPU. Sounds like you could run QEMU and pass through
tasks to the GPU.

I don't know. It was one of the worst-kept secrets that Windows 7 keys
worked to upgrade to Windows 10, even as of last year.

.... Overtly resist change
