To do that, most will have to go purchase a copy of Windows. That's $150 down the drain.

I recently put the free VM from VMWare on my Linux desktop and bought a Win-10 Pro disk off eBay for $25.

It's kinda' clunky but not as clunky as Wine (to me.)

I bought a new laptop at Christmas with Win-10.  I was planning to set it up for dual-boot, but I'm reading that Win updates like to overwrite the boot-loader so I might just leave it Win and live with it.
