[AccessD] Windows11 pro

[Bill Benson]

JC thanks for posting that link, I have bookmarked it!!! I think it is
funny that the author indicates I am safer doing things myself, that
warrants a big BWAHAHAHAHA.

And Stuart, I have already added 2 Win 11 and one Win 10 to my cart, I am
currently in the process of building a totally new system.

I went into the store (who builds custom PCs) thinking I knew what I wanted
- but the owner talked me out of some things and into others. I told him to
just design something and I would consider it. I intend to bring his
recommendations to my friends and on Win-HOME list to see if his
suggestions pan out.

What I thought would be ideal is a super amazing fast fully loaded system
with 4 hard drives; I would RAID each pair, so let's call this 2 "drives" -
one for personal use and one for client dev work. The client dev "drive"
(RAID pair) I can partition into as many separate OS's and make each
bootable and encrypted.
I will be backing up by partition, and when starting new client projects,
restoring from a base image that has all the dev tools I need; perform
windows updates, and commence development. When that client's project is
complete, take a backup of that partition, store it for future support;
then when starting next client, go back to the base image, load any more
tools I may have discovered that I cannot develop without, perform Windows
updates, take that as my new base image; and start in on that project.

To me this ought to work great. I may invest in NAS to try to automate some
of the backups; that was recommended by the custom build guy who also said
I ought to get a server and but I said no thanks (why would a one man dev
team need a server? Seriously, I am open to input... but he did not
convince me.)

I had almost bought a DELL OPTIPLEX with two large HDs which I would RAID 1
then split into lots of partitions for same effect described above. But
DELL said it would void the warranty. Good-bye DELL!!!
