I recently bought a Dell laptop that came with win7. I started it and did some testing as I recall. So I launched the Win7. I then replaced win7 with Mint 17 KDE. I need access to windows and would like to run a copy of Win7 in a VM if possible.<br>
<br>
It is my understanding that running windows in a VM is a violation of the user license. Is this true?<br>
<br>
Where can I get an ISO and can I use the codes provided with the laptop?<br>
<br>
Running a full version of Win7 in a VM would be the best solution for me.<br>
<br>
Thanks!!<br>

Todd has a few ISOs of WINs 7 and I might have some myself. Yes WINs<br>
7 can make a snapshot of the system or make a recovery disk which<br>
would be something you could do. I've never done it myself but there<br>
are great articles out there on google to tell you how. If anything<br>
you could wait until next Saturday and some of us will have ISOs for<br>
you to play with.<br>

I believe that the Hackfest is scheduled on that Saturday. [2nd<br>
Saturday of every month from 11:00 to 2PM).<br>
<br>
Hans has some considerations about scheduling conflicting<br>
meetings. <br>

I am looking forward to the delivery of a new PC, which has Win 7<br>
installed on it.<br>
<br>
I would like to bring it to the Sept 20 installfest for advice and<br>
assistance in setting the machine up with the latest version Centos<br>
64-bit system.<br>
<br>
I would like to be able to run Win 7 either in a VM or as dual<br>
boot.<br>
<br>
I haven't had a Windows system for quite a number of years and I<br>
know some changes have been made.<br>
<br>
If I boot the system and test (play around with it) will I be<br>
compromising my ultimate goal by having Win tie into the<br>
motherboard, or calling home or some such system change that will<br>
prevent setting up dual boot or getting a copy of the system for use<br>
in a VM environment?<br>
<br>
My goal for the Win system, in addition to learning what changes<br>
have been made since XP will be to run Minecraft and the Garmin GPS<br>
update program.<br>
<br>
Sorry if this is too long and confused, but at the moment I am a<br>
bit confused.<br>
