If I already have Ubuntu (14.04LTS) and Windows (7 installed first, recently upgraded to 10) on separate partitions, is there a way to run both OS's with any form of virtual machines, or, would one create another partition with something like a 'virtual desktop server' possibly with Debian? and run that environment with any OS's involved? Would separate disk drive(s) be of use? Which OS runs the hardware (WIN Licence issues)? I'm sure some people have come across a similar situation. Thanks.
Edit: To Run an OS or multiple OS's on a current host operating system (pref: Ubuntu) Using existing partitions on the same disk drive, or possibly use separate drives and set up something like a 'desktop server' OS - I was thinking using Debian for that. Would a version of Apache assist? Is there a way of using view ports to achieve the result of using an existing guest OS(s) from within a host machine with the 'guest' already installed on a separate partition, that is not reinstalling the 'guest' but running it from the partition where it is currently installed.
Apologies, Is this better explained? It comes from the situation of having to re-boot a dual booted machine, get's a little tedious. Thanks.
Edit: I contacted a systems consultant who recommended Xenserver to run multiple OS's of a single computer. I'm going to have a look at that software, see how it goes.
