   About once a year I boot up a Windows VM just to check if the open source projects I maintain still run on it.

   I'm annoyed if they aren't and in disbelief when they just work. Either way, it's always going to be a weird day.

     @fribbledom do you download a current image or update the old one every year?

     I have recently started my old Surface Pro 3 again after a few months and it felt like hours until it had installed all updates.

     A Windows update usually takes longer than a fresh install, so I just go with the latest ISO.

     @fribbledom @Stefan_S_from_H do you have a CI system? I always just use the hosted Windows CI runner image they maintain for this purpose
