So, I have a work assigned laptop, I’m thinking of VMing everything and my work windows installation would be virtualized while I use the host system as my own computer.
The company software that I’m aware of is “only” a VPN conector for emails and a file encryptor. IT protocol is pretty lax so I could image the drive, make a fresh windows install and then virtualize the image.
That way when I’m working I just fire up the VM and when I’m home, I keep the vm shut while using the machine.
Would there be any issue with that plan?
Your work-allocated device will likely be encrypted and device managed. Those security features may not be present on your host.
You should also consider what your employer would say if your personal device, in a much lower state of security and management, was stolen or went otherwise missing.
