Re Old PC's.

If your games etc run on Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later, you can just build a virtual machine and run all your old software on VM player.



No need to buy old bulky PC's that take up office space.

You would need a installation disk for your old OS to get started. Everything else is free.

You also need about 4GB of RAM or more. You need lots of RAM to run several machines at once.

I did want to build a Win 95 machine but I only have win 95 upgrade disk not an original installllation disk, so I cant get it to go yet. My oldest machine I use is win 2k. The new Windows 8.1 runs on it just fine, as does ubuntu.

Win 8.1
