I really like Windows 7 and despite trying Windows 10 and various Linux distributions, I keep coming back to it. However, with Windows 7 security updates due to stop next year, I'm beginning to plan.
What I would like is Windows 7 not connected to the internet (apart from temporarily to update software, etc.), but be able to use the internet on the same computer. For example, I could have another OS on an HD partition / USB, and I've come across people mentioning Virtual Box and Whonix. I ideally would like to isolate the partition with Windows 7 on to keep it secure. Please could you let me know any ideas for achieving this goal. Thanks.
