Ugh, I gotta boot into Windows later tonight to get some classwork stuff done and it's gonna want to install crap since I haven't booted it in a couple weeks. I'm running Bazzite (it's Fedora based) on another drive and hopefully I don't have to deal with this, based on what I've seen I think my setup will be fine. (Anyone in Minnesota want to sell me an older MacBook for cheap so I don't have to deal with Windows for six more months?)

EDIT: I just bought a MacBook Pro from Free Geek Portland. Now what's the best way to keep Windows from updating for the next two weeks?

Disable automatic updates with group policy

@brb @AlligatorBlizzard that also poses a great security risk since the majority of updated are security-related, even though they also break stuff

For just 2 weeks it's probably fine but good disclaimer
