Win7pro in a VirtualPC - How?
Hi all,
Is it possible to install my current win7pro in a Virtual PC without having to buy/Activate another copy?
I realize I would actually have to copies running, one to run the VPC and the other running within the VPC. But, being just one human being, I could only ever be using one at a time. Or, am I expected to add to "Microsoft Corp. today announced quarterly revenue of $20.49 billion," and buy a second copy?
Just had a very tenacious virus and I finally had to reinstall win7 and then go through installing all my software again. I had backups of the data and lost nothing but time. It cost me almost two 12-hour days to get back to where I was.
I would like to do everything from within the VPC this time and just backup the .VHD to a 64G thumb drive, maybe once a week. I know it would take an hour or so, but that's better than 2-days!
It is a Lenovo laptop and did not come with an install CD, but has a hidden recovery partition so it is not a simple matter to install a new copy from the CD.
Thanks.
