Hi /g/.
I need your advice:
At work I need to use Windows 7 because of a program that doesn't work on Linux (we barely use it, but dual booting or VM just to run it is not an option).
At home I use Arch Linux in all my machines and I miss using GNU/Linux while programming, so I am thinking about upgrading the Windows 7 machine to Windows 10 just to have the Linux Subsystem. (Yeah, I already tried Cygwin and I don't like it).
Any thoughs?
Would you do it?

what do you mean?

Not him, but probably does the w7 program run on w10.
If it does, I dont see a reason no to do it.

Yeah, some of my colleague use it with W10.
Also I've been reading all the privacy politics and I find them abusive.

Why though? I solved the same problem exactly this way.

because we don't have the key of the product as it came preinstalled, and in auditories it may be a problem

I see, good point.
And what's wrong with dual boot?
Just curious, sorry for not coming up with anything valuable to this thread.

the program needs to be running all the time
it is sort of calling program we need to use in case a customer calls us

>>61690713
It's too late now. You need a Windows 10 key. Win 7 keys don't upgrade anymore. Just do the VM.

if you enable any accesibility feature, it'll be for free
at least that's what I heard
