Some Basic Questions re Virtual Machine
I would like to be able run a second instance of Windows 7 on the same computer. It seems the way to do that is to create a virtual machine
What alternatives are there and what are the pros and cons of each? Can I use my existing Win 7 licence or will I need to get another license?
At this stage I'm not interested in running different operating systems or different versions of Windows, although I might want to do that at some time.
I don't mind admitting that my reading on this makes me nervous. It seems overly complex for what I want to do - run 2 concurrent instances of Win7. I can understand that probably needs to be so if you want to run different flavours of Windows, OS/X and *ix on the same box at the same time.
I have recently reinstalled Windows 7 64bit on an 256GB SSD, it has 183GB of free space, the processor is an 6GB I5 @ 3.GHz. All of my data (documents, images, etc etc) is on separate drives.
Ideally I'd like a gadget called - CloneThisWindowsHere
Thanks
