They even have a stand alone program to make a VM from a system. There are other VM programs, mostly free. I prefer to host on a Linux system but that is not a requirement. The only advantage of that is that Linux breaks stuff with updates less often than W10 does.
If I decide not to renew the upgrade service, I can just back up the latest VM in case of a failure.
From the way you talk if I run virtual machine if my computer fails I can still keep my updates am I correct in what I am thinking your saying?
