I have a quick question about creating a virtual machine.
I have recovery discs from a previous computer. The previous computer was a Compaq, as is the current computer. Both ran Windows XP. (Previous computer is dead.)
Would it be possible to use these recovery discs to install Windows XP in a virtual machine? The manual says that the discs are "licensed" for a specific PC model, but the discs themselves say they "can only be used with a Compaq PC." So I assume it will work, but I wanted to see if anyone else knows before I go downloading a VM program.
I should note that these discs were bought from the HP/Compaq Parts store, and were not made within Windows XP.
