  • You want 1024 megabytes of RAM as your base RAM. The recommended size will leave Windows 7 running at less than optimal speeds.1314023
  • Create a new virtual machine. If you already have a VirtualBox drive set-up, you can use it, otherwise, create a new one.1314034
  • Dynamically expanding storage is nice because it will grow in size to fit what you need. If you just want to allocate a designated amount, I recommend using 40 GB for Windows 7.1314024

  • Oooh, shiny!1314028
  • Run through the Windows 7 installation. It is pretty standard fair.1314030
  • Congratulations, Windows 7 is now installed!1314080
