@@2008spoonman many people seem not be familiar, there's certainly more secure options. If I recall correctly, reboots from within the sandbox will also persist data, for example if installing software that needs to survive a reboot.
My bad, apologies I thought I had mentioned in the intro :( Quite right observation. I've updated the video description to make it more clear. Thanks for your feedback.
@@sheridans Thanks for replying but in my case it's disabled by default, can you please let me know what is needed to enable it? And thanks in advance!
@SarmedAmeen if you drop to a command prompt and type "ipconfig" can you it assigned the class b private range, starting 172.x? Might be your firewall or something blocking it
@sheridans Thanks for pointing this out to me! You're right; it is my Symantec firewall blocking it. Thank you again for your reply; I highly appreciate it, and thanks for the very useful videos!!!
@@bobrobertsNotUrBob As far as I'm aware, emulates enteprise which is a volume license, hence can't be activated. If you have software bound to host product key, I'm assuming it will fail.
The “secret tool” is just a light version of Hyper-V. It creates 1 vm in a separate network segment. 😊

7mins to tell us it's only on pro and not home versions.

I thought I had a decent knowledge of Windows 11 but I didn't know about this. Great tip!
We're always learning :)
Thanks for feedback 🙏
So the sandbox has internet connectivity but not to your internal LAN ?
On my Windows 10 Pro, it's not connected!
Networking can be disabled, by default it's enabled and it will create it's own network, 172.27.x.x for example, WITH NAT ENABLED.

does the sandbox have the same license key as the host OS?
not sure why a license matters, it's a one-time use thing?
@@sheridans for testing software which is tied to that machine id

@@sheridans ok thx
Thanks. I'll have to install this on my laptop. WSL would be another good choice to build a sandbox.
Works well,obviously wsl is Linux based, Sandbox is Windows.
Appreciate feedback 🙏
Very cool, never knew this was a thing, and I use windows for 20 years now 😂
I've only used it recently myself 😀
Handy tip, thank you. Every day's a school day.
For you and me both 😉
Haha. Windows is such crap
