Compatibilty Report with Win 7 in virtualbox
Hello...I just got a new laptop and I put virtualbox on it. I installed Windows XP and then preceded to upgrade to 7, because I only have the upgraded dvd. I get to point after I say Upgrade that appears a Compatibility Report message that states
'The computer started using the Windows installation disc. Remove the installation disc and restart your machine that so that windows starts normally. then insert the disc and select upgrade.'
I did that, restarted the OS on VB put the disc in and get to the XP desktop, and after changing the boot device and where to boot from I get that Windows cannot upgrade from here and to restart with the disc installed.
It is a loop that I cannot get myself out of. Am I missing a setting somewhere to upgrade from XP to 7 in VB? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
PS I tried a full install for fun and I did not get anywhere because my product key is for upgrade only.
