You don't have to airgap it. Personally, I'd take a half-way house approach; I'd firewall it at the router, completely blocking internet traffic in and out to that specific machine. This way, you can still transfer things to it within the network. Its not as secure as total air gap, but honestly its more than effective enough if you're not hiding sensitive documents.
The reason I’m thinking of airgapping is because I actually got hacked by some IS hackers who went through an exploit of my old Router. That was approximately 3 years ago so you can tell how much it affected me. Luckily I was gaming when it happened and caught it pretty quickly.

Now I use two-factor Authentication on everything I can. Problem is that I’ve not been doing much computer stuff over the last few years so I’m badly out of practice.

My job (before I had to early retire due to disability) was a programmer/analyst for a security company, responsible for some cutting edge tech at the time.

But nowadays I freaked out over setting up my gaming pc to dual boot win7 and win10. Went through the easiest I’ve EVER installed an OS so I don’t know why I’m freaking out. My friend thinks the nerve pain meds are making me be this way.

I think I might just get a refurbed gaming PC that will let me use Fusion as well as run my CNC. A pc that will run Win10 without slowing down. You can pick up some really nice (and cheap) ones if you look around.
