I have two Windows programs that I use regularly. I run Windows 10 inside Gnome Boxes within Linux Mint. The Windows VM has no internet access. I have successfully moved the Windows VM (not really hard) to a second computer. I see no reason to ever play Microsoft's game again. Setting up Windows 10 or Windows IoT LTSC within Gnome Boxes is dead easy.
