Have been running Win98 on Win7 PC with Virtual PC - Virtualbox for dummies?

Post by petergoode »

I wish to apologize sincerely in advance for this post from someone who is obviously not a total newbie to running virtual machines, but who is NOT an expert.

I have an old Roxio EZCreator program which I've been running via a Win98 .vhd on a Windows 7 system via Virtual PC. It is just a matter of time until this PC dies. And I have been advised that Hyper-V on Win10 will NOT support Win98.

As such...I have found a FAQ as to how to install virtualbox on a Win10 system...but is there a s step-by-step guide for non-experts as to how to run a Win98 .vhd file on virtualbox?

I have not been able to identify back-compatible software for the .cl3 cd label files which are correlated with the Roxio program, so if anyone can guide me, I'd be most appreciative!

No need to apologize, this is a perfectly good question.

There are two tutorials in the Windows Guests Tutorials for 98 that might help: viewforum.php?f=28
