    Has anyone set up 2 virtual machines on their desktop, one for browsing and email and one for everything else?

    I've done this recently. Got burned with letting the kids download some stuff on my laptop. End result was popups and extra toolbars and search bars all over internet explorer.

    All my data was already backed up anyway so I re-installed Windows 10. Used disk2vhd on the new windows 10 box and then flattened the laptop and installed Linux Mint. Installed VirtualBox and fired up the Windows 10 image. I've also installed Ubuntu and Windows 7 as guest OS's.

    Just need some way of getting Garmin Express to work on the Win7 guest now. Can't seem to get it to see the ANT+ stick using USB 🙁

    I gave the kids laptops at some point, but before I did that, I did the same. Used a VM w/ Win 7 back then for the kids to download. Got tired of that and they got an iMac at one point.
