Windows 7 vm

Author: h | 2025-04-24

I just installed Virtualbox . I have 2 VM's. One is WIndows 7 and 1 is the latest update for WIndows 10. I updated the VM guest additions on both VMs The Windows 7 If you want to do it all within Ubuntu - install VirtualBox create a VM for Windows. Install Windows within the VM ( by booting off the downloaded ISO - you can do so using VirtualBox). Once you have Windows 7 installed in the VM, you can then use the Windows 7 VM to run the Windows 7 USB tool to make Windows 7 bootable from the USB drive.

Windows 7 VM and Ubuntu VM Question

JimFoyeSep 28, 2015 03:41 PM 1. Can't upgrade Windows 7 to Windows 10 in VM Workstation 11 Posted Sep 27, 2015 08:21 PM VMWare has a relentless and expensive upgrade cycle. I upgraded to 11 so I could run Windows 10. But I am not able to upgrade any of my Windows 7 VMs to Windows 10. (The message I get is complaining about the SVGA driver).I have a sneaking suspicion that I am expected to upgrade YET AGAIN to get this, as 11 only supported preview editions, making me the victim of the proverbial "did you read the fine print" scam.Please tell me I'm wrong.Jim 2.

Windows 7 VM and DHCP

Need:Windows Update Agent 7.6KB3125574KB4474419KB4490628Problem is IE in the VM can't get them for you. And you can't install Firefox to get them because, well, Mozilla dropped WIndows 7.I've resorted to downloading them onto my Mac from Microsoft (the KB MSU updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog, and search for the Windows Update Agent 7.6 installler), and enabling file sharing and then Windows file sharing for that folder. That enabled me to get the updates onto the VM, then I could install all of them.Bottom line: unless you know what you're doing and are willing to waste some time, avoid Windows 7 and go to WIndows 8.1. - or preferably Windows 10 or 11. At Windows 8.1 least it installs without all of the grief of Windows 7. 19. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Apr 06, 2024 02:15 PM but how did you copy the updates to the VM for installation, since VMWARE tools is not installed, cannot copy files from host to the VM. 20. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Apr 06, 2024 02:54 PM It takes a little creativity to figure out what you have available in the VM without VMware Tools and an obsolete browser that doesn’t support todays security features. You have networking. You can configure Windows file sharing on your Mac (see macOS documentation for instructions). Put the updates in that shared folder. Mount that folder using Windows Explorer in the VM, and copy the updates to your VMs hard drive. This doesn’t need a web browser. You have a virtual CD drive. You can create an ISO of a folder and mount that ISO on the drive. Or burn the folder to a real CD and mount that to the VM. Use Windows Explorer to copy the files. You have USB device support. Copy the updates to a FAT formatted USB stick. Connect that USB device to the VM. Use Windows Explorer to copy the files. 21. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Apr 08, 2024 12:35 PM wrote:but how did you copy the updates to the VM for installation, since VMWARE tools is not installed, cannot copy files from host to the VM.The VMware Tools' Shared Folder feature backdoor is only one method of transferring files between the host computer and a virtual machine. As Technogeezer stated in his reply, he enabled Windows File Sharing and used that (which, honestly, using bog-standard Windows File Sharing / CIFS or SAMBA is a *much* more robust and secure approach than the backdoor). Another method would be to "burn" the files to an ISO image (or physical CD, but not needed since Fusion can mount an ISO image just like a physical CD/DVD), mount the image to the VM and copy the files from the VM's CD-ROM drive to its hard drive. 22.

Hmm, I wonder if Windows does some kind of install specific to the machine it finds itself in...would make sense to me that it would. You might be stuck having to do a clean Windows install. Oh well, probably for the best since I assume at some point you'd probably like to attempt to passthrough that iGPU to a Windows VM (I think it is possible, even on Ryzen). #6 Well, I ended up switching from SPICE to classic RDP which works great (both Linux and Windows VMs). #7 Hi, I have noticed the a similar issue with a Fedora (Gnome) and a Manjaro (KDE) VMSPICE display becomes slow and sluggish, sometimes it takes 3-4 seconds between mouse click and corresponding action.

The VM a challenge. Try downloading the updates to a Mac, then writing them to a USB stick formatted with FAT. Then use Fusion to attach that USB stick to the VM and install the updates from there. 12. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 06, 2023 01:43 PM Yes, I wasn't planning to download by VW internet., but when I tried, then I found another dead end street.Even what you told me doesn't seem easy for me,but I will try.Thanks a lot, it seems you became aware of my issue.Regards. 13. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 11, 2023 10:47 PM BTW, Technogeezer, do you know if it would be easier to install a VM in Windows 8.1? 14. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 12, 2023 02:26 PM Not sure. I don’t have much to do with older Windows versions lately other than getting them to Windows 10 because those old versions are unsupported and insecure. I’d have to try it. 15. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 12, 2023 06:01 PM For what it's worth, I just ran an experiment. Tools install fine out of the box on a freshly installed Windows 8.1 VM running on Fusion 13.5 .The version of Tools installed was 12.3.0 build 22234872. 16. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 12, 2023 07:39 PM Hi, thanks very much. I was going to answer you about this recent first post that I was going to try to install W8.1 myself in VMWare Player 17.5, instead of the W7 I was trying. (No need to do it yourself, but I really appreciate your kind help).So, anyway, you tested in Fusion that 8.1 install could be easier than W7 virtualization, right?(I understand Vm Fusion is like the Mac's version of the VMWare Player i have. Is that also right?)Many thanks again and regards. 17.

And yes, I found that Windows 8.1 installed very easily. 18. RE: VMWare Tools fails to install (Windows 7) Posted Nov 13, 2023 04:16 AM I was able to get a Windows 7 fresh install with VMware Tools, but it is plain ugly. There are updates that you have to get into the VM in order to get the tools installed and so that Windows can apply all of its updates. That's squarely on Microsoft - they don't make it easy for anyone to install Windows 7 from scratch at this time. Nothing Fusion related in those problems. You'll

What is likely happening is that you're not able to connect to the VM quickly enough to respond to the Press any key to boot into Windows Installer screen.To fix this, set the boot delay to 6 seconds or higher to give you time to click this. Browse to the folder containing our VM and open the .vmx file in Notepad or your editor of choice. Then, scroll to the bottom and add this line to the config file.bios.bootDelay = "6000"This should provide enough time to start the VM, then hit ESC to choose your boot device. Pick the Windows 10 ISO and then hit a button to when you see the prompt for Press any key to boot into Windows installer. If this still doesn't work, then
