Hello Mark and Everybody else

Thanks for your elaborate comment. One question remains - see below.

It's understandable to me that a virtual version of e.g. WinXP could
be upgraded somehow to Win7. However, a question remains: what do you
mean with "image of your Win7 installation"? A "copy" of the existing
OS configuration at the Win7 partion to an .iso file to be burned to a
CD, with a view to upgrading a virtual version of some previous
Windows edition? If so, how could I create such an .iso file?

Thx, respectfully yours,

Bas.
