I was going to run an older CFD program on it...
It works great on Win7, but for newer versions of Win the uni would have to fork out a forklift of, erm, forks.
The R7-1700 would have meant a sub 1000€ 8 core, 18gb CFD beast. The same performance with Intel is 1000€ for just the cpu...
Edit, the computer would be airgaped and not running any antivirus/tasks/other softs, not sure basic versions of Win10 allow this

Good point, have only used the premium/pro versions

you can disable Windows Defender
that runs the anti-virus / malware detection, also firewall if you need. By "other softs" I assume you mean Windows Services? Those can be disabled too, some may be required for core operating system components to function, but you can cut a lot down. What's the deal with doing all that to it then?

Yes,
But doing a fresh install of 7, doing SP2, and she's ready to go - all offline - is much easier.
Win 10 "needs" to be connected, or a work around + fiddling.
in that respect I'm what you could call a "lazy cunt".
Not counting that I'll never manage to talk the Uni into shelling the extra dosh, and quite frankly, i don't think the new version does anything more than the old one...
