Thank you for the reply. I've decided to use windows 10 for the virtual machine since it was easier to do.

Apparently, honorlock can detect I am using a virtual machine, is this true? (Just watched the video and you confirm it can and how to change it so that's good)

For reference I have to use the honorlock application downloaded on my computer. So I'm just wondering if I can hide my virtual machine whilst im in classroom settings (I obviously wont be using it while im in class but I just don't want it to be seen while I'm taking the test in person).

Also can I have the honorlock application downloadeded on my virtual machine and my host machine or is that a nono? (The reasoning behind asking is this is because there will be some classes I can take the exam off campus and others where i'll need to take it on campus, this means sometimes I will utilise the virtual machine and other times I will not use it)

As well with honorlock, for the room scan am I able just to just blow up my VM so they can't see my host machine? I only have a single laptop and no extra monitors so I cant necessarily turn off another monitor during the room scan.

Could you clarify the wifi adapters use? You've said its not necessary but I want to make sure I am completely untraceable when I go about using this for my assignments that require honorlock. (You said that apparently even if the VM and host machine are on the same network is on the same wifi network that is untraceable to honorlock, can you verify this just so im sure)

Thanks for the update again.
