Murre

Desktop computer ordered on 9/11/17

Rhymes with blur. This is not a Common Murre, though black and white, this one is flightless.

Replacement for Laysan. I just wanted more RAM and ended up replacing everything but the drives!

Software

Windows 10, Full version

I am considering installing Windows 10 on this computer as the base operating system. I really kinda sorta am tired of not being able to get full use of that video card due to restrictions caused by running under VirtualBox. In theory I can move the license I already bought over. If I did that I would probably still run Linux in VirtualBox when I needed it.

If I do this, I would need to "deauthorize" ESRI, and according to this guide I just have to march through the "reactivation" procedure that I went through a month ago when I accidentally made changes to the VirtualBox machine.

I am frustrated at the notion of installing native Windows 10 when my Parallels + Windows 7 combination on my Mac works so well. C'est la guerre.
