If you are running windows non home edition enable the Hyper-V features and fire up a VM.
I was think about WSL but that may not work in this case.
Shit. What if you are running the home edition? I've been thinking about switching as well, but I don't have a background in coding and I'd have to run a dedicated ssd with windows just for my work programs (design related) or migrate to FOSS completely.
If you are on home edition then VirtualBox should be ok.
Hm, appreciate it! I'll look into it.
If you have a USB stick you could just boot up a live CD of the operating system.
