Hello to all. I created a virtual machine from a pc that has the windows 7 operating system. I installed Virtual Box on my laptop and windows 10. When I start the virtual machine it gives me an error with both the s.o. 32-bit and 64-bit. By setting the s.o. 32-bit at startup the machine keeps displaying .... file loading ... and then always restarts. With 64 bit operating system it goes in blue mask and then reboots. Thank you all for your cooperation.

You're trying a 'P2V' or 'physical to virtual'. Been done many times. Web-search 'Windows 7 P2V site:forums.virtualbox.org'
