Reminder that Microsoft is trying to shift Windows to be entirely cloud based, so this can easily happen overnight without your consent. You don't own your OS. Linux is the only way, unless you're one of those strange BSD folks.

There are options like using virtual machines, but it's way to cumbersome and prone to errors, you don't want a measurement that took half a day get ruined because of a stupid communication error.
