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. It is my understanding that running windows in a VM is a violation of the user license. Is this true? Where can I get an ISO and can I use the codes provided with the laptop? Running a full version of Win7 in a VM would be the best solution for me. Thanks!!
