can I run a small program if it needs windows 8 or 10 ?

[huemul]

Hello,
I am obligated to use Cisco AnyConnect, which requires at least Windows 8, or 10

I could buy another PC and programs.... here, that would be 2 months of salary.
And I still would work mainly with the older one, as most programs I use would not work in the new one.

Question:
is it possible to have Windows 10 as a separate installation, or emulated, such that I can go there and use this Cisco?

- maybe it takes to start PC in one of the windows versions
- maybe one can go to another partition and activate it

Thanks !

AS your >>Obliged to use it<< i have to assume that your employer required it be installed, i would also assume from this that they would also have you upgrade to a later version of windows.
So you should have a "commercial" operating system licence product key supplied by them, (a volume key, either KMS or MAK) you shoud upgrade to 8 or 10, to facilate thier requirements.

Having said this if your comp was purchased by you, it should have >>HAD<< a standard OEM install NOT neccessarily Ultimate, which you could use as your primary OS and create a dual boot system using the COA key, for your system and the Commercial key for your work requirements
