Unlike VM versions that require setting up virtual hardware, WinOLS 4.7 installs directly, often with a straightforward, simple process.
While functional, this setup is a headache. Running an entire operating system inside another just to edit a hex file is a massive resource hog. It leads to: Laggy cursor movement when precision is key. Driver Issues:
