Create a new Virtual Machine with an OS ISO CD image file in Microsoft Virtual PC 2007

XP running in Virtual PC

Microsoft Virtual PC let’s users install a guest OS inside their regular OS, and not risk breaking Windows since the new OS is installed in a virtual drive which Virtual PC uses to virtualize the guest OS in a Virtual PC Window. It is a great way to learn how to use a new OS or run older programs in an older OS like Windows 95-ME. No drive partitioning or formatting is required to install a guest OS in your systems operating system.
