In preparation for an exciting year, I have installed/upgraded several programs on Ubuntu but need to:
- Generate OOXML files with MS Office
- Run GIS software not otherwise available
- Test IE/Office/Windows vulnerabilities
- Use WebEx
That means a copy of Windows 10 to enable access to Office 365.
Abhishek Prakash’s How to Install Windows 10 in VirtualBox in Linux did the trick for me.
One caveat, my VirtualBox created by default an optical drive so when I added the Windows iso image as a second optical drive, starting the install reports no bootable media. Deleting the default optical drive, leaving only the Windows iso image fixed the problem.
The subscription/install of Office 365 went smoothly.
By default storing files on OneDrive. (1 TB)
Provocative name suggestions for encrypted core dumps?
Other than the glitch with the extra optical drive, it all went smoothly, albeit in Windows fashion, somewhat slowly at times.
Some traditions never change.
