I have a project at work that needs MS Access. But wine runs an older version of the software. And the other virtualization options are a pain to get setup when you already have an old windows install.
Right now I only use windows for 1 program and have to reboot everytime I need it.
Does your employer not supply you with the appropriate hardware? My employer assigned me a Surface 7 laptop, running Windows 11 and all the O365 stuff. It's the only Windows machine in my house.
They do, but I'm not a developer. So ms access is now being used as a dev environment so I can make some tools for my department.
I have Linux on my home PC, but it also has windows on a separate hard drive. If I was able to it all at work it would be great. But I'm making the tool because I don't have the time at work to do anything so I make it at home.
Have you tried setting up qemu with virt-manager? Theres a lot of info on how to set it up for most distros and I find the GUI is very straightforward and easy to use.
