I think Linux host OS is better choice for your 10 year old computer because the VM may run pretty slow on it. Even running on host OS, your 10 year computer may be still too slow for running Vivado 2019. How much RAM does your computer have? What CPU/frequency?

Autumn, and with it drier air, has arrived here in DC increasing the risk of ESD. I'll be using a static mat, a static strap, and a spudger to reduce the risk of damaging several hundred US$-worth of equipment.

Totally agree on that. Better safe than sorry. For the same reason, I'm using my azure kit still in that packing it came in, I'll start using it for project after 15 days.

I'm also learning FPGA, I'll be following your blogs.. [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-22345a08-96fd-425d-adb1-a3dc2b9e3cfc/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]
