Windows 7 - VirtualBox

rjmach · 08-09-2010

Hello all

I am running Windows 7 64 bit. I would like to know if i can run XP Professional 2002 with the product key on VirtualBox? I have the DVD will it ask me to load the product key in Virtualbox?

I am concern about the product key.I have run ubuntu 9.10 before in VirtualBox with no problem.

Thanks for your help.

Sure, that will be no problem. Installing in a VM is just the same as if it was a real machine.

Hey

Also the new VB will let you run OSX out of the box. You'll need hardware Virutalization for you processer for it to work though.

sorta....you still need hacked copies of OSX and such to make this work. It's not as simple as putting in a retail disk and installing.
