Posted October 15, 2017 Ok, I have never set up a VM before, but I want to try out windows XP w/o dual booting my system. I have virtualization enabled, and have a Ryzen 5. I have Virtualbox open but have minimal knowledge of it because i have only used it while teamviewering onto a friend's pc.

Posted October 15, 2017 Why don't you run it in VM application like VirtualBox instead of dual booting if you are new to VM stuff. Magical Pineapples
