 I still have Win 11 on my Trycoo mini PC. I need it to make sure my code

I've still got XP running in a virtual machine.  It runs Corel suite, a specialist engineering program, and a 3D CAD package.
It is all fully integrated with the linux desktop in terms of file interchange.
It is purely a program launcher for the programs it runs. It has proved useful in the past to access banking websites that wouldn't work with a linux browser.

Salad.
