Is the computer powerful enough to run windows in a VM? If so, do that on a snapshot-capable filesystem (zfs or btrfs) and run a nightly cron job to snapshot the windows VM, and keep old snapshots for at least a month. If he gets scammed again, roll back to the night before.

My understanding is that COW file-systems such as ZFS or BTRFS are horrible for VMs, and recommended practise is to turn off COW. How does Windows licensing work such a system? Do you need to purchase another Windows license to use it within a VM? -- Brian May <brian@linuxpenguins.xyz> https://linuxpenguins.xyz/brian/
