If you don't have your Windows 7 ISO, you can enter your Windows 7 product key on the official Microsoft Windows 7 page to secure an official download.
Now, decide how much memory to allocate to the virtual machine. How much you allocate depends on the host system as well as what you use Windows 7 for. For example, my desktop has 16GB RAM, so I can afford to allocate the virtual machine more memory so that it runs faster. In the bottom panel, select Create a virtual hard disk now , then Create.
Next, configure the Windows 7 virtual machine disk size. Microsoft recommends a minimum of 16GB storage for Windows 7. Allocate as much as you want or need, but make sure it is more than 16GB. Keep the Hard disk file type as a VDI you can move this virtual machine disk type to other virtual machine software , and let VirtualBox dynamically allocate the disk size if you need more storage than you allocate, the disk can dynamically expand.
Now, under the System tab, select Processor. You have the option of allocating your Windows 7 virtual machine more processing power by way of assigning another processor core. If you have a multi-core system, assigning an extra core will give you a faster virtual machine experience.
Depending on your system hardware, it could result in slower performance for the host machine. On to the Storage tab. Here is where you insert your Windows 7 ISO. Under Storage Devices , select the Empty slot. Then, under Attributes , select the disk icon. This is very important to me still. If the VM is, in fact, moved to another computer or is deleted, do I lose my license?
In reply to ywgoblue's post on January 12, Would someone please answer my question? In reply to ywgoblue's post on January 25, Why is it so hard to find such a simple answer?
The level of support Microsoft provides is not much different than Ubuntu, but Ubuntu is free and has a lot of fellow users answering questions. Can someone please, please figure this out? Yes you can.
Ron of Canada. In reply to Carey Frisch's post on January 28, Retail versions are transportable as long as you don't attempt to continue on the previous system s.
You might have to reactivate however. The answer to your question regarding loosing your licence for Windows 7 if you delete a Virtual Machine or move it to another machine is: - A OEM copy of windows is tied by its licence to the computer it is installed so if you delete the virtual machine the licence is lost unless you reinstall it on the same computer.
A full retail copy is not tied to the computer so can be transferred to any other computer. If you install it on a new virtual machine on a new computer you can move the licence. I hope this helps. If you lose one or your keys.
Say the one that was on your virtual machine was lost and you don't have a hard copy of the key itself from Microsoft, Then yes that key is lost and you can transfer the key that is installed on your local machine to the VM and remove the dual boot feature on your pc. It will be formated for linux soley and the vm will have the Microsoft key associated with the machine. All purchased laptops and desktops usually have the key glued to its body somewhere or have a provided hard copy in its paper work.
As long as which ever key you are logging in online with is in your physical possession, Your not breaking the Microsoft EULA agreement.
