[rcarlos243]

I am currently running Windows 8.1 Pro w/ Media Center RTM but i need to install Windows 7 Home Premium x64 in a virtual machine environment.

 

 

How do it do it for free? (i do have a legit windows 7 key)

Simple. Check out Hyper-V in Windows 8.x
It's not installed by default, you need to do so. It's very simple.
Simply, do Win+X to access the power menu, and select Programs and Features.

Then on the left side column, click on Turn Windows feature on or off

Finally, a panel will open, simply check the box Hyper-V, and click on OK. Hyper-V will be installed. You 'll need to restart your computer.

 

You are now have Hyper-V.

You'll find Hyper-V in the full app list in the Start Screen (Start Screen > Ctrl+Tab, or click on the down arrow), or of course, you can just search for it.

 

I sue it for Windows 7 as well.

Not since Windows 8 Pro

Microsoft decided to include it with it.
