<p>I have an odd question … suppose I wanted to take a fairly vanilla Windows computer with Win 7 … 10 on it, like your typical Dell or Lenovo or Asus laptop or desktop; suck that OS install with all the apps into a VirtualBox VM; copy that VM off to a backup drive; fully reformat the HDD and install some friendly version of Linux; and finally load up VirtualBox and then the VM and make the VM work so it looked and acted virtually identical to how it did before.</p>
<p>So, I’m not asking HOW to do this … I wouldn’t have much trouble doing it myself.</p>
<p>What I’m wondering is if there are any resources around that would explain how an average person could do it without much trouble? Videos, books, eBooks, tutorials, whatever.</p>
<p>Also, for anybody who’s been through this process, how long did it take? Or how long would you expect it to take based on similar experiences?</p>
