Hi All, I do it backwards to that. I have Win10 home, VMware Workstation, and run my Linux VMs - CentOS 6 & 7 on it. It seems pretty snappy and no issues - at least for what I use it for. My environment: Satellite P75-A7100, Intel I7 - 4700MQ, 4-cores, 8 logical. 24GB RAM. SSD

What kind of performance do you get running W10 on a Linux VM? I tried running W10 under a VM on Mac OS and the performance was dreadful. I ended up buying a new laptop with W10 on it. From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List on behalf of

There was an option somewhere to turn the updates off altogether - I don't remember right now but will check it when I get home and will let you know tomorrow. These updates were driving me crazy - I was even trying to blame the problem on Walmart since I bought the discounted refurbished

The choices you get are UPDATE AND RESTART or UPDATE AND SHUTDOWN. But you must install the updates. I learned later after having numerous crashes that you can set the METERED CONNECTION and it will stop the automatic updates. But even that comes with some quirks. For example, I set it on my

SPE is very much alive and well, especially since the change to two-year cycle for z/OS release. The big difference is that SPEs are effectively part of the normal maintenance stream. You can avoid installing one for a while, but eventually it gets preREQed by some other fix(es) that you may
