I think it’s been 2 years since the last time windows was updated on that machine.
I have an image of the machine all set up but I don’t have that external drive with me

I want to turn it into a Linux box, but some of software I need doesn’t have Linux support
so you haven’t had any of the feature fulled bug updates?
You could try vfio? you’d get the best of both worlds, running Linux full time on the host and Windows at almost full performance when you need it. could even have the vm do snapshots of Windows so you can restore if anything breaks.

Nope, it’s my FX system and I disabled windows update as soon as I built it. As an added bonus my current Ryzen system runs the Education version of windows 10 so it’s on the same build and testing branch as the Enterprise versions of windows 10.
As I said before it’s an FX system with a GTX 480 so it not very fast and I only use it when I’m home so it’s not worth it.

VFIO with Looking Glass would be a great solution especially since its almost in beta and has most of bugs and issues ironed out.

RIP oh the dependable aging power infrastructure 
how bad is it? frequent power drops or longer outages?
I hardly ever use the computer it’s not worth the effort and I need this PC fully function tomorrow
Just setup a virtualbox vm and use their GPU emulation thing. Will support any windows application that doesnt need heavy GPU support

I have to give my congrats to nintendo though. They have someone not managed to not completely screw up. They have had their ups and downs but hardware was study and the software microtransaction free.

The thing is with Nintendo is that they know their market really well and often don’t follow industry trends and do their own thing which means we get interesting stuff like the Switch that is out there but really unique in its design and games that are filled with content without any of the undesirable crap like microtransactions. With Nintendo you know what your getting from the start.
And our isp is shitting itself
RIP is all coming at once ;(
It possile that the ISP might be having the same power issues?
Switch, battery pack, hot beverage, snacks.
