Macrium Reflect Free is a very good program. I use it for creating and restoring images from my disks for years, it saved me from not a few system reinstalls.

Are you sure that you are installing the correct driver? It seems to be a case of incompatibility...

How are you sure that the Intel GPU driver is the cause of the BSOD? Did you have this problem from the beginning? Maybe you should try to install Windows XP again in case it helps? Also it could be a hardware problem even if the laptop is "brand new" (I suppose that it must have been manufactured lots of years before now).

This means that the software can evade a virtual machine or a sandboxed application from the host OS, I don't think this is desirable (for me at least). Of course it may also mean the opposite, it isn't really clear.

Perhaps the installation of Virtual Box is corrupted?

You are welcome.

In the Control Panel open the Advanced System Options and add the variables and the corresponding paths to the Environmental Variables (for the System if you want them to be used by multiple users).

https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/115.30.0esr/win64/en-US/Firefox Setup 115.30.0esr.exe That's for Firefox ESR 115.30, I couldn't find a Czech version.

What about Windows XP (the search assistants)? Weren't they Microsoft Agents too?

If you have Google Messages (you can probably do the same with any other SMS application) you can set sound on for it's notifications and disable the sound for any other notification, if this is what you want. You just have to config the notifications by app.

Of course there is Firefox ESR 115 also (currently the 115.30 version).

I have Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable (x64) - 14.0.23026 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable (x86) - 14.30.30704 on Windows 8, I had no problem in installing them.

And remember that Windows 8 has no telemetry.

There are also the well known Avast, AVG and TotalAV, with their free versions.

I'm not sure but I have the impression that RW DL discs don't really exist.
