There is an excellent new invention out called a Windows Virtual Machine. A virtual machine is a program that allows you to run an entire operating system inside of an existing one. This is an excellent option for many users. In this article, we will discuss some of the things that you can do to make your Windows Virtual Machine experience go smoothly and easily. In addition, we will highlight some of the things that many users use this technology for.
First you must decide which operating system you are going to install. Many users decide to install Linux due to its incredible stability. In addition, recent forms of Linux have made it easy to use just like Windows. However, many users decide to simply use a different version of windows inside of their virtual machine. Installing a different operating system inside of Windows is extremely easy. All you must do is select the option from your Start Menu. After doing so, the computer will guide you through the rest of the process.
After installing your alternative operating system, you will have the option to use it as a safeguard system. What this means is that any potentially harmful tasks that you are concerned about doing on your main operating system can be performed on your secondary operating system. This method ensures that if something does go wrong, such as a bad registry install or a virus that gets accidentally downloaded; you can simply reinstall the software without having to touch your precious files.
Some people do not like to use a virtual machine for everything. For instance, most virtual machine operating systems do not take full advantage of the system’s 3D graphic processor. Therefore, many gamers do not opt to use a virtual machine over a traditional operating system.
In addition, running a virtual machine tends to take a toll on laptop batteries. Therefore, if you plan to use a virtual machine, always ensure that your laptop is plugged in. If you do not, you may find that your laptop battery can only last an hour or so.
Running Windows Virtual Machine can be a greatly rewarding experience as long as all of this important advice is followed.

When using virtual machine software and VMs what is the host operating system?
That's the "base" operating system. Let's say you have Windows 7, and you need Windows XP for compatibility (for instance, lots of older games no longer work with Windows 7). So you install a virtual machine using a special program such as as VMWare, and you run Windows XP in a window within Windows 7. (It can be full-screen as well.) Or perhaps you want to try out Linux. In this example, the base machine - the real, physical machine - has Windows 7; that's the host operating system, while the virtual machine has Windows XP (or Linux).Note: It is also possible, for example, for the host operating system to be Windows 7, and the virtual machine also Windows 7 - this can help you isolate different installations, and - for example - if you no longer need it, erase the entire virtual machine, which is faster, and often much cleaner, than uninstalling.
