Using a VM is being suggested as it is:

• Relatively easy to set up.
• Gives the user a full Windows OS which simplifies software installation.
• Allows for snapshot backups to be taken of the install meaning if something breaks you just roll back to a previous snapshot.
• The VM can have the internet disabled meaning no auto updates to the software or OS.
• Easy to remove the VM and virtualization software at a later date if required.
• The VM (or another) can be used to run other Windows only software.
