WinBoat installs Windows, but requires a valid Microsoft license for permanent use. You can use your <strong>existing license<\/strong> or purchase a new one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I take my Windows files with me?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely! Your Linux home directory (<code>\/home\/username<\/code>) is mounted in Windows as a network drive. <strong>Seamless file exchange<\/strong> between both systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Is WinBoat safe?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">WinBoat uses <strong>Container isolation<\/strong>. Windows runs separately from the host system, which provides additional security. Windows updates are done as usual via Windows Update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does this also work on older notebooks?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Technically yes, but for productive work we recommend:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>At least 8 CPU cores<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>At least 32GB RAM<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>At least 64GB free storage<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Lumi recommendation:<\/strong> For optimal performance, use our business models with 32GB+ RAM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Which programs can I install?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>All Windows programs!<\/strong> Adobe Acrobat Reader, Photoshop, Microsoft Office \u2013 installation is done <strong>just like on a normal Windows 11 computer<\/strong>.
