OK. Then I have no clue. As far as I know, Mac OS prior 10.5 does not work on Intel/AMD machines.

I guess there might be some Hackintosh but don't know if you're gonna find any for Mac OS 7.

 

Good luck !

as to your question, if it is the old one it will be hard as @Niklos pointed out

I think so. MacOS 7 was meant to be run on an IBM CPU.

Yeah a VM will process X86 code, not IBM Power PC code. Apple back with Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard supported Rosetta to run legacy apps. But after that it was dropped. Main reason was to transition from their PowerPC to intel x86 in 2006. 

Be sure to @Pickles von Brine if you want me to see your reply!

Virtual machines are not full emulators, they expect and require the CPU architecture to match.  You can certainly run Mac OS 7 on your system, but you will need the right software, and something like VirtualBox or VMWare is not it.

Mac OS 7 goes back even further than that, it was around the time Apple were transitioning from 8086 6800 to PPC.

Oh you are right. Damn, that is mad old. No way that is going to run in an emulator.

Partially, my early morning brain confused Intel 8086 with Motorola 6800. Luckily I noticed.
