I was in the Microsoft Partner program for over 10 years, until they discontinued it, which gave ability to install most things on up to 10 computers, still have a few installs left for Win7 and Win8.x and Office 2010 and 2013.

For reliability testing purposes, installing Windows 10 onto a VM is not quite the same thing as installing it directly onto physical hardware. The cost of hardware Ramdisks is still a bit on the heavy side of the spectrum, but if you decide to go the software Ramdisk route after all, then I recommend Primo Ramdisk Server Edition.
I was a professional systems engineer at a large insurance company for a short while after I finished my formal degree in IT, but around the time when .NET came about I decided to become a Java Enterprise software dev because from a career perspective I got soon tired of the Mickeysoft type of vagueries, and EJB was a fatter paycheck with less nonsense. Most people on here wouldn't understand the fact that Java is a zillion times more than just another language so I don't tend to often bother to explain. I don't work with physical hardware anymore since it's all web based nowadays. But I do prefer Windows for all my hobby stuff.

How to Create a RAM Disk with ImDisk in Windows 10
I liked the RAM disk back in the '90s when copying data from floppies, could set it in the config.sys file to load at boot. Made it large enough for 5 floppies, about 8 to 10MB, copy files to it then delete individual files as desired then store back on floppies. Things got easier when the 100MB then 250MB ZIP drives came about.
Just one final thanks for all the suggestions provided here. I think that I now have everything that I need.
