I used disk2vhd to virtualize my laptop windows disk and put it on a USB stick and then got it running on Linux with VirtualBox. I’m gonna need it once a year for taxes.

I did run into some trouble getting secureboot working in virtualbox, but solved it after I figured out the kernel drivers were compressed.
