Would I need to reinstall win7?

Post by mikehende »

Hey guys, I have a 2012 Macbook Pro with windows 7 installed via bootcamp. If I were to try Virtual Box, would I need to reinstall windows 7 please?

Yes. One is a Virtual Machine, the other is an alternative boot to your OSX. They're independent...

Got it, thx. Anyone on here using VM without any issues please? I wish to do this for DJing so of course will not want any hiccups when playing live with either my windows DJ software or the Mac DJ software.

That would be a rare thing. Heck, most of the people have issues with their main OS, not an OS on top of a OS.
