Hey there.
Been a fan of Youtube channel for a while now, havent found an excuse to sign up and participate on the forum though, until now.
My OS has been running "slow" for a while now, being saturated with both usage and applications. It has gotten to the point where i would have to do either a major cleanup of the system or reinstall the OS and start fresh.
The problem is, since the last reformat, i´ve installed quite a few applications that i am regularly using. While i can reinstall all those apps, setting them up properly would take time. Not to mention i might forget some settings.
So i was thinking of maybe creating a virtual machine, installing the OS and all the software, configure it, then deploy the virtual machine on my phsyical machine as a "fresh install". This would allow me to continue using all the software normally untill i am ready for V2P. Another option would also be to create a virtual machine from my existing physical machine (P2V), reformat, then continue using software in virtual machine, untill i can set it up properly under a fresh install.
The dilemma is though, that i have not found a suitable solution for doing this. Since i do not plan on doing this regularly, maybe once every couple of years, the option to purchase an expensive software solution goes out the window. And i have not been able to find a simple low cost solution to solve my problems.
Any idea regarding this would be greatly appreciated.
