But how do you load the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows ๐ค hehe
I'm in the same boat honestly, I have a lot of stuff on disks still but I just pull out an old optical drive from the box if I need to read them, or an old laptop or tower or whatever that's got an optical drive.
I do wish booting live USB was a little more universally easy though, it can be a bit of a pain in the arse compared to live CDs, these bloody TPMs and weird bios stuff getting in the way are a real pain. But overall, disks have had their day.
I do still use long term Blu-rays for bulk 10-plus-years cold storage backup though! Wouldn't trust flash or HDDs for that.
