[GNC] Installing 3.11 in Windows

[Adrien Monteleone]

I was just about to suggest snapshots when I read this reply. If you 
want to stick with on OS for all machines, virtual or real and keep your 
infrastructure simple - that's what I would do.

Of course, those snapshots will deviate by more than just GC if you 
don't keep them all up to date regularly.

And if you're light on physical hardware resources or concerned about 
background services, check out BlackViper. That site has saved me 
countless times and helped me slim down Windows installations to only 
what I really needed. (some things in Win10 are quite persnickety and 
persistent, like XBox stuff for some reason, but I'm sure someone on the 
web has figured them out) One of the first things I do in Windows VMs is 
turn off all of the fancy graphics. It ends up looking like Win2000, but 
I don't care if it runs faster. And of course, you'd want to do all of 
that *before* creating your snapshots to save time.

Regards,
Adrien
