can this be run in vmware virtual machine? do you have a product key provided

Yes, this can be run in a vmware virtual machine. It actually includes two license keys, the primary key and a separate license key in the packaging for the virtual server deployment. If you go with vmware you lose some of the licensing benefit by having only one key be legally usable, but if you go with hyper-v, this essentially means you may use the physical machine license key on the host server, configure hyper-v, and then use the virtual machine license key on a virtual machine on that host, giving you two usable OS installs for the price of one.

The system comes preloaded with Windows 7. I suppose you could wipe it out and install XP, but why?As an alternative, why not get VMware player (for free) and install XP as an alternate choice OS within the Windows 7 environment?

This is an excellent choice for use with VMWare. I have these and the dual port versions in all of my ESXi hosts. I have no idea whether it's the least expensive in terms of purchase cost, but once you've spent hours searching to save a few dollars you'll have spent the savings in your time, and then some. This is a really cost effective and reliable solution.

No. There is none. We purchased ours from Amazon and it works great. Had no problems with VM or my account

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.

This pc uses an Intel Core i7 4770 locked cpu which does support virtualization. See Intel's web page for this processor for more info.

I doubt you could directly to the machine, since drivers are certainly going to be an issue. However, Windows 8 pro and enterprise can install hyper-v virtualization and since the drivers on that can be old school, I've gotten XP to install on that. The gotcha on this plan is if you have hardware dongles for communications or licenses, that don't always work.

This card is certified on VMWare's HCL. I'm running this in two ESXi Hosts. a 4.1 and a 5.5.

I don't see why not. Make sure that VMWare 5.5 supports the particular hard drive controller in the unit you buy. That's probably going to be the only thing that would prevent Vmware from working.

You can, however I would not use it in a production environment. It is extremely slow unless you configure the vm swap file to local storage on the host.

Using internal graphics as this board is in an ESXi server for some home VM testing. Honestly there are better boards out there I only got this as it is a reference board and should have universal compatibility with VMware

I believe I had it running under server 2012. Hard to remember now since I got other one to run under esxi but I know for a fact it worked with Windows.

No, that doesn't mean it won't run Windows 7 it just doesn't come with Windows 7. You could always run a Windows 7 virtual machine inside HyperX.This is a very touch optimized device and Windows 7 doesn't work that great with touch.

Sorry about that ! You could run install but it will only register on one computer. They nail you over $200.0 for a two computer software.

Not sure about all the versions, but you can always install multiple virtual operation system under Win 8 for old games.They run on my Win 7 for sure.
