Actually managed to convince my boss to run the Windows computers on Mint with a Windows 10 VM just for the compatibility stuff. All of the computers are now so much easier to maintain and teach users on. Nothing randomly jumps at you or changes locations with an update. Nothing asking for random permissions or requiring an update when opening. Pure bliss from an admin standpoint.
Are you using WinBoat for the compatibility stuff? If not - might be worth looking into. (It's still a Windows VM but with a different abstraction layer).
Just using VirtualBox at the moment and it does the job well enough. It has its quirks, but since there are only 3 people that need to use that software, it’s plenty manageable.
