[Hidden-tech] Unusual(?) request for a computer

[Rob Laporte]

I have one with 10 on it, free. Was a powerful Windows raid server, like 10 years ago, upgraded some, converted to workstation. Monitor available too. I'm near Greenfield center.


Take Care,

If you have a windows 10 image/dvd you can use a virtual machine on VirtualBox. <https://www.virtualbox.org/> . You need a bit of storage space to install Windows but it is fairly easy to set up.

I have an unusual request for a computer that doesn’t have to be fully functional.


I need to use a program that will only run on Windows 10 which I can’t use on my current computer. As that is all I need to do I could use a computer that doesn’t have a working monitor as long as I can plug in an external one, doesn’t have working CD/DVD drive or wireless, although I might meet to plug in to internet with CAT-5, not sure, doesn’t have working track pad or keyboard as long as it has at least one working USB outlet so I can plug in external, I don’t need sound. Hard drive size also not an issue either I am thinking (the program and data only need about 2 Gigs), laptop with dead battery also fine as long as it will work plugged in. Doesn’t even have to be super fast as long as it will run Windows 10. I don’t know what else I am not thinking of right now that it might not need and I think you get the idea, it’s just for this one program.


Anyone have one just sitting around from which you upgraded or replaced due to any of the above malfunctions?

Oh, and I know all of the reasons I should upgrade to Windows 10 on my current machine and for reasons I won't detail here, that isn't going to work. Eventually I will get a new machine, fully featured and functional and that just isn't in the cards at the moment so for now I just want to get this project done.


Thanks,

Gary
