Hi there
I'm sure you guys stateside will have some huge bargains on your "Black Friday" type of shopping gig. Companies will be getting desperate also to gear up for Xmas -- with people fearing unemployment etc - loads won't be in a rush to spend money so stores will have to really entice those that can spend with decent offers

that said an Intel I9 with a decent graphics card with at least 2 ports, nice big monitor(s) and 64 GB RAM should make nice system.

Cheers

And for the unenlightened, hopefully the deal to buy 4 Macrium Reflect Home licences for 50% off will be repeated on Black Friday.

As it is already 50% cheaper to buy 4 licences (4 for price of 2), the Back Friday deal meant 4 for cost of 1 - a real bargain. As you get a separate key for each licence, you can give them away to family/friends.

Hi there
Did you create the VM with UEFI or MBR boot (within the VM) - You can use UEFI on a VM even on a MBR boot machine. I find usually the UEFI VM's for Windows tend to work on VMWare . There's no problem though I've found with installing Windows VM's with KVM/QEMU -- currently using kernel 5.8 on Fedora 32 --working OK (although Outlook 2019 has some errors on the latest 19041 and 19042 Windows builds. Others have reported those also running on Native Windows machines or VM's on Windows hosts.

Cheers
