Default VirtualBox, Add Files HOW?!

.... , pre-95 versions of Windows can be installed under
Dosbox and the old programs run from there.

Thats about a quarter century back. Even my QB45 stuff post dates
that.

Since my guest doesn't have Internet access, only using it to run
older programs, how could it get infected ?

Since I can't seem to find a source of XP, it looks like I'll be
reinstalling every time I want to use it, after each 30 days.

Further thoughts & thanks ...


Can't you just carry on using it unactivated after 30 days.
Microsoft won't give you access to updates but there aren't any so who
cares?

I'm trying to point out that you don't have to.

But I think I'm remembering wrongly.

As I've said, I'd be perfectly willing to buy a license, BUT WHERE ?!
