Yo thanks for the tip but this is a little to technical for me I think  Grin I was lost on the first sentence since I dont know how to create a virtual machine on my pc Tongue Not familiar with linux in any way also. Still leaving my factoids in a wallet without encryption is just not a option for me unless like the paper wallet its not connected to internet in any way. I have to get over myself I guess and start using the paper wallet. Is theyre any way I can check somewhere if my factoids are in my wallet after I send the coins allthough I have the problem that it was connected to the internet if I check it somewhere lol  Undecided

I have a friend who would understand your post so when he is here I will ask him to look at it. Thanks anyway for your extensive post man. Cheers!

You would be amazed how easy it is to run a virtual machine  Smiley   Downloading vmware-player from the vmware website is free (no cost) and downloading the xubuntu.iso is free (no cost) from their website.  When setting it up, I allocated 11GB disk space for the vm, 3072MB for ram, and 2 cpu's, so the vm runs well, but that requirement means your host PC has at least 8GB of ram.

If you only have 4GB ram, then you can drop it down to 2048MB RAM for the vm or even 1536MB, but if any less, it might be slow.  The cpu can also be set to 1 cpu.  Xubuntu runs xfce desktop environment which is low demand on resources.  Try to run 64bit vm as much as possible...

Remember the backup also and to keep in encrypted container (i.e. veracrypt which is also free, I believe, sorry I recommend it and I don't use it as I run linux on the host and vm and luks encryption is part of the os distribution).  Good luck and if your friend has questions, I'll try to answer...
