  • Hyper-V will work with physical disk, but be warned - the wizard you run through when making a VM will make it look like you give the VM a VHD file for storage or nothing. Just attach no storage to the VM initially, then go into the VM settings after the wizard is complete to attach something besides a VHD.

    Can’t entirely remember if it handles partitions but I know it can boot particular disks and if the setting exists, that’s where it would be

    Windows 7 was a competent OS with low system requirements, a stable kernel, a simple feature set that was well-known and useful, an interface that was comprehensible and clearly conveyed to the user, and it didn’t require extra investment or online accounts, and compatibility options for the really old stuff. It remains the Best version of Windows in my eyes.

    8 took away the comprehenisble UI, low spec options, and lack of online service requirements, then 10 further complicated the UI and filled the OS with ads, the then 11 bloated the feature set, added even more ads, borked compatibility, and made the online accounts a requirement unless you pay extra and/or know what you’re doing.

    I’ve heard of other villages merging this tin with their copper to create sturdy tools and weapons, even ones capable of breaking bronze and wooden implements like shields. A marauder we captured last year called it “eyerown”, but I didn’t understand his language so please confirm with your elders.

    Our village has such a traveling merchant we’ve traded with in the past who was able to get us a small amount of tin. We’ve only used it to produce elaborate bowls and chalices for our leader, at his request. He likes the way they shine in the sunlight.
