Up until last April, I ran Windows 7 under virtual Box on my Debian machine for my daily work almost every day for about 2 years. I have cut down now to one day a week, and generally do that on a Macbook Air, also running Virtual Box. It worked perfectly. I updated to Windows 10, through the upgrade program, and that was a little dodgy until I updated Virtual Box to version 5 and removed 3d Video acceleration. The only issue to be careful of, is that the drivers get properly rebuilt when the linux kernel changes. When I first started doing this I was very nervous that a machine I depended on for my daily income was using virtual box, and I spent some time trying to get KVM working. But I never found a way - struggling with documentation at every step. VirtualBox on the other hand (apart from the occassional problem with ensuring the driver modules get rebuilt) was easy to set up, modify and use. -- Alan Chandler http://www.chandlerfamily.org.uk |
