I played with it a year ago. It was fine. I went back to mint still for some reason.(I remember it was a hassle to get some windows game to work) due to software available at that time.
I will try this again.

Zorin OS (Oaken Shield) ? Is it not the name of a character in The Hobbit ?

Ok, joke aside, I could try it for the old father's PC, still on Win7, seems simple enough !

I do. But only the paid Version shows up like Win or MacOS.

Right now i have the free installed on an old Lebovo Core I5 2Corer CPU. Runs still fine. It was used to see how the compatibility with my needed software is.

I must have missed this some how. I've never heard of Zorin OS. I'll give it a try but I usually always go back to Ubuntu or Mint overall. I still have the first version of Red Hat in the box(opened of course) that I bought in the 90's. Well work bought it.. lol This reminds me of it but in a different decade.. f*k I'm old! lol

I've been meaning to give this one a spin for some time now. I downloaded it here and set it aside but haven't found the time to tinker with it yet. Interested in knowing what you think about it

This reminds me of college back in the late 90s and early 00's Keys for Win98, XP and Vista conveniently started going missing

That's why Microsoft came up with WGA, after all. Windows 98 and 2000 had no product activation system and Windows XP's volume licensed version didn't require product activation (Microsoft instead bet on the fact that companies wouldn't leak the CD images and key - haha that backfired on them) - in fact, the infamous FCKGW key passed WGA authentication until around 2004.
