Installing the operating system on a virtual machine is the same, but only the operating system's mirrored files are required, and you can do without the disc. Windows7 system installation image can be downloaded online, such as Microsoft's official online download. After downloading, we will get an ISO CD image file for the operating system.

2. This file will be used when we install WINDOWS7 on the virtual machine for a while. In the Virtual machine window, click on the "disc" icon at the bottom

3. Then in the pop-up option, click "Chooseavirtualcd/dvddiskfile ..." Options

4. In the pop-up selection Mirror File window, select the WINDOWS7 mirror ISO file We prepared before, click on the "Open" button
