Can this be used to install Windows 7 Pro via a Virtual Machine setup eg VirtualBox or VMWare?

Yes, it will work fine for a VM. Keep in mind that the seller, Top Choice Dealz, is not actually shipping a Windows 7 Pro System Builder pack; they are shipping a version called "Windows 7 Pro Refurb PC Citizenship." Also note that you will not likely be able to activate this product over the internet, and so you must call in to Microsoft and exchange activation ID's with a customer service rep.

According to this article, you don't need a copy of Windows to run a VirtualBox copy of Windows (http://pclosmag.com/html/issues/201309/page15.html)...good luck!

I'm not sure, I have Win7 works great for me. Just call tech support, google Dymo, and they will answer all questions,

It should work on VMWare, but we don't do any technical support. Once the key is open no returns.

Yes, you must install an OS (Windows or other) before you can run applications. VMWare just sets up the hardware emulation, it does not include operating systems.

Yes..without a problem. But..(I don't remember if it had an operating system on it when it arrived) unless it has the operating system on it..you'll have to use a "full blown" version of Windows 7..not the upgrade.

While I no longer have this and cannot test it directly, it is a generic enclosure. Thus, I do not foresee any issues with Windows 7.

It comes with Window 7 Pro (64 bits) pre-installed and activated along with some other programs.It would be pretty much ready to use right out of the box.

Yes, unless you already have a legit copy of Windows installation disc; Parallels comes by itself.

Yes, it does. I virtualized all workstatios in my office, all of them run Win7 64bit Pro for about a year with NComputing L300 as a thin client instead of actual computers.

The OS on this unit is actually going to be Win7 PRO 64bit. Please let us know if you have any other questions. Thank You, ServerMonkey

You would need a valid (unused) Windows 7 key, so most likely you'd need to buy a copy. I just did this, there are a few changes you need to make in bios to get it to install, too.

No problems with Windows 7 supporting the unit. If you have room for it in your box, it should work.

All of the Windows 7 versions will work with this processor. I am using it with Windows 7 enterprise, but it works with Windows 7 Pro 32 bit. Purchased the processor to use with VMware workstation 9 to allow me to virtulize 64 bit operating systems.

Although I have not used it for purpose, it appears that it can be used for that on my windows 7 machine. So I don't know for sure.
