depends on the version/edition of windows. Most OEM copies are not sold with licencing to be run on a VM but some Enterprise editions do allow for such things.

Question :  I have several Dell desktops and several Dell laptops that came with Windows.  I've replaced almost all of them with Linux.  I do have a need for Windows on occasion.  I do have VirtualBox configured on my desktop and laptop.  I'd like to install Windows in a guest on VirtualBox.  Can I use the OEM copy or do I need to find an image some place on the net?

Thank you in advance.
