    Salut, les machines virtuelles sont créées avec des fichiers ISO. Généralement, ceux-ci se trouvent sur le site du distributeur officiel du système d'exploitation, cependant, Microsoft ne fournit plus l'ISO pour 7. Vous pouvez utiliser l'IOS à partir d'un disque physique Windows 7 si vous en trouvez un.
