i want to set up a VM for XP, maybe later also windows7.
What is the best way to do that? i have a windows 10 home system with 16 GB Ram and ample disk space.
do i first setup the VM and install XP in it? or do i have to set up a system for XP.
as you can see - i am a newbee in the VM field, so best keep the answers on the dummy level
i suppose i can copy the contents of the XP cd to my disk and run setup from there also?
another Q arises : this board has USB 3 ports - that did not exist with XP; so will the ports perform as usb 2 ?
can i create easily a bootable iso from my install cd? then i'll try with that
You could use VMWare Workstation and create a VM (https://www.vmware.com/uk/products/workstation-player/workstation-player-evaluation.html)
You will need to have the media in order to install to OS
