First time install questions

Post by GaryS »

I'm looking for some very basic information on running and using Virtual Box as a first time user. I've looked at the tutorials, but they all seem way advanced.

I've installed virtual box in order to run legacy Act 4.0 (ca 1999).

1) I want to run a Windows XP Pro system. Do I need to have the Windows XP Pro program cd's to load that, or does this come natively with Virtual Box?
2) Will I be able to install my Act 4.0 from the DVD drive to that Virtual Box.

I'm looking for some simple step-by-step instructions, please.

Thank you,
GaryS

I suggest you start here: https://www.virtualbox.org/manual/UserManual.html

And, "Yes", you need to provide the operating system installation media and the legitimate Activation Key if required.
