I was just about to suggest snapshots when I read this reply. If you want to stick with on OS for all machines, virtual or real and keep your infrastructure simple - that's what I would do.

Of course, those snapshots will deviate by more than just GC if you don't keep them all up to date regularly.

And if you're light on physical hardware resources or concerned about background services, check out BlackViper. That site has saved me countless times and helped me slim down Windows installations to only what I really needed. (some things in Win10 are quite persnickety and persistent, like XBox stuff for some reason, but I'm sure someone on the web has figured them out) One of the first things I do in Windows VMs is turn off all of the fancy graphics. It ends up looking like Win2000, but I don't care if it runs faster. And of course, you'd want to do all of that *before* creating your snapshots to save time.

Regards,
Adrien

But telling you why I'm reluctant to use Vagrant has given me an idea. I
don't need to set up multiple VMs, but rather snapshots of one VM.
