Yep. I don’t mind if it messes up- I’m doing it in a virtual,machine, and while it’s taking some time to do, it’s fine- if it breaks, I will start over- I have lots of free time- keeps the brain from going comatose lol.
My goal if possible is to get a trimmed down fresh install in a vm, then turn that into an .iso if possible- then install it to an HD, unregistered, and have as a backup. Then install a bunch of programs that I use, customize it how I like, and do another .iso and have that as a backup too- my main backup which I will use for reinstalling if need be on main computer. The fresh trimmed one can be used for any computer possibly, if driver issues don’t mess it up, or “changed hardware” isn’t an issue.
I’m gonna purchase probably 10 for now, maybe both now that the sale is on.
Pro purchasing tip; wait for black Friday to purchase most stuff- Christmas too, and cyber Monday. I have a few programs I am gonna purchase but am waiting. I bought one program onsale at black Friday and renew it each year at discounted price- same with an online game I used to play, called Iracing- get it deep discount and renew the subscription at discounted prices.
