Comment on Ask HN: Cleanest way to manage Windows OS?

Comments

Just get a cheap Windows laptop, and only use it for that one class. You can get a 15" HP with 16 GB of RAM for $300 brand new, retail. Use the "Restore" when you're done and give it away to someone who needs a computer.

I'm assuming most people here aren't in the precariat like me. If you are, then get a used Windows laptop, they're even cheaper.

Or, if even $300 seems steep for a computer to use for just some windows software, go to a used computer shop. I picked up my daughter’s Thinkpad for like $150

Edit: sorry, missed the portion of the parent comment mentioning used.
