Install Virtual Box and MyPhone Explorer and get full functionality without spending weeks and months of your life trying to get Wine working properly.

Install Suse Linux Leap.

Install Virtual box.

******** Install the Suse RPM provided by Oracle located at this site: Linux_Downloads – Oracle VM VirtualBox https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads ***********

Download the Windows ISO from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-au/softwar ... ISOInstall

Install the Windows ISO in Virtual Box.

Windows picks up the license key from the BIOS if a version of Windows was previously installed on the PC. Otherwise activate after installation and buy a license.

Install Virtual Box Guest Additions.

VBoxGuestAdditions is required for full screen display of the Windows guest VM, cut and paste between the host and the VM and lots of other usability features.

VBoxGuestAdditions.iso can be found in this directory after Virtual Box is installed: /usr/share/virtualbox/

VBoxGuestAdditions.iso not shipped with the Suse VirtualBox packages downloaded from the Suse Repos. Use the Oracle RPM instead.

Download and install the VirtualBox extension pack from here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads (cross platform). NB: Not the same as Guest Additions.

Set the Virtual Box adapter to bridged mode and select the wireless card in Virtual Box manager network settings.

Set drag and drop and cut and paste to bi-directional.

Start the Windows VM and enable full screen mode.

There is loads of support on the Net for anyone who has a problem trying to configure Virtual Box.

I find running Windows in a Virtual Box VM on Suse just as fast if not faster then running bare metal Windows and buying a Windows license for a couple of hundred bucks to run apps like MyPhone Explorer is preferable to wasting years of your life trying to get apps working properly under Wine .

Install Suse Linux Leap.
Install Virtual box.

To everyone who really wants to stick with Windows:
The most important reason for me to switch to Linux is that Microsoft has introduced new conditions from September 30, 2023:
Anyone who writes or shares “harmful” content can be completely deleted and blocked digitally by MS. MS can change all content created on your PC and use it yourself!
This means that if you still want a bit of privacy, don't run the MPE in a Virtualbox under Windows, but install it directly under Linux with wine or winetricks. It works.

I don't know where you get that strange information. The new MS Services Agreement, effective from September 30, 2023, is available at https://www.microsoft.com/en/servicesagreement, and it is quite different from what you wrote here.

Hi Maksym,
This is particularly about point 4 b IV. I have also added the russian translation, so that the full scope of this rule is clear to you and you understand my point of view.

iv. Enforcement. We reserve the right to deny content if it exceeds limits on storage or file size allowed by the Service. We may block, remove or decline to display content if it appears to violate our Code of Conduct or another Service policy or where required by law. If you violate these terms or Service-Specific Terms, we may take action against your account. This could include limiting access to certain features or Services, stopping providing Services, closing your Microsoft account immediately or blocking delivery of a communication (like email, file sharing or instant message) to or from the Services.

iv. Обеспечение исполнения. Мы оставляем за собой право отклонить контент, если он превышает ограничения на объем хранилища или размер файла, разрешенные Службой. Мы можем заблокировать, удалить или отказать в отображении содержимого, если оно нарушает наши Правила поведения или другую политику Службы, или если это требуется по закону. Если вы нарушите эти условия или Условия для конкретных служб, мы можем принять меры против вашей учетной записи. Это может включать ограничение доступа к определенным функциям или Службам, прекращение предоставления Служб, немедленное закрытие вашей учетной записи Microsoft или блокирование доставки сообщений (например, электронной почты, обмена файлами или мгновенных сообщений) в Службы или из них.

Hi Rolf,
Sorry for the late reply. I have just read your last message: I am in the army now, defending my country against the Russian aggression, and I am busy sometimes, as you can imagine .
Thank you for the quote, and thanks for trying to help with its translation, but it is not needed: for the last 30 years, I have been one of the best-known Ukrainian translators and interpreters, and both Ukrainian and Russian are my mother tongues. In addition, I am a former lawyer, and I hope I am still capable of reading and understanding various legal documents .
Regarding the Microsoft Services Agreement, you said "MS can change all content created on your PC", which I understood (I am sorry if I understood you in a wrong way) as "MS can change that content _within your PC_". This is not the case. That provision describes what they can do with content you publish etc., and that provision applies even to the content you create e.g. under Linux and then send to Microsoft.
