So there are two options that you can get Windows operating systems for free.
One of them is this website.
So it's a website that allows you to download virtual machines to test Windows, Internet Explorer,
as well as Microsoft Edge browsers.
And as you can see here, there are a few download options.
So I'll choose this one and the platform.
Now look, I'm going to choose here.
VirtualBox.
And then download the zip file.
So I'm just going to take a little time because it's a pretty big file.
And you can also download the Windows 10 flavor as well.
So now the other website, remember I said there were two ways to do it.
The other one is the Microsoft Evolution Center.
So you can download almost all Microsoft products here.
So let's go to the products menu.
For example, click Windows 10 Enterprise.
And what you get is a 90 day evaluation product.
So.
You should fill in this form and click it to download the product.
So I also download here only the virtual machines.
And you can go to your downloads folder.
I'm in my tools folder now.
And I'm going to extract Windows 7 first.
So I'll right click it and extract it and I don't want to wait.
So I'll do the same for Windows 10.
Right click it and extract it.
After 2 or 3 minutes or so, they'll both be extracted.
Okey doke.
So the extraction is now finished and I'll go to the Windows 7 folder.
Now you'll see that there is an Ova file.
And you already know how to import this into VirtualBox, so we'll double click on the file.
And a few seconds later, this window will come up.
Now.
I only changed the name to win seven.
Re initialize the Mac address and import.
So in a few minutes it'll be imported into VirtualBox.
And there it is.
It's been imported.
So congratulations.
If you've been doing what I've been doing, you have just now imported windows machines into your lab
environment.
