Windows 7: New OS in Virtual PC

v0id · 14 Oct 2009

Hi all,

I have one problem! I installed Virtual PC and XP Mode and now i don't know how to install new OS!

I want Linux to install and there is no options for new Virtual PC or OS!

Anyone?

Go to Start, All Programs, Windows Virtual PC and click Windows Virtual PC

At top of window should be button for "Create virtual machine".

Rather than it's own stand-alone GUI window....they integrated the functionality into the Windows Explorer shell. Personally I don't like it...but I guess they are shooting for consistency.

Follow these steps:

Open C:\your_username\Virtual Machines
Click Create virtual machine
Give the new vm a name and location where it is to be saved
Decide how much RAM you want to allocate this vm
As default, the new vm is dynamical. If that's OK to you, click Create
Go back to Virtual Machines windows, click the vm you created and choose Settings
Click DVD drive on the left pane, on the right pane choose an ISO image if you want to install from your HD, or choose a CD / DVD drive if you want to install from a disc.
Double click the new vm to run it

I'm always telling to check tutorials section. Why I didn't now, is unclear. Of course you are right, so here's my modified answer to OP:

Check the tutorials section!
