An ISO image is a file that archives the content of an optical disk. The ISO file contains all the information contained in the optical disk it is a copy of. If you purchase Windows 7 online or install any software that requires you to restart your computer, you will be downloading an ISO image. The ISO image needs to be burned to a CD/DVD to be usable. However, if you are using a virtualization software program, you can use the ISO file directly in one of your virtual machines.
- Step 1
Run your virtualization software. Create a virtual machine by clicking on "New" on the top of the window and follow the on-screen instructions.
- Step 2
In the CD/DVD section, select "Use an ISO Image"
- Step 3
Use the browse function to find the ISO image you want to use. Click "Open" to have the virtual CD/DVD reader load the ISO image.
- Step 4
Start your virtual machine, and it will boot from the ISO image.
- Step 1
Open your CD/DVD-burning software.
- Step 2
Select "Burn Image" and select the ISO image you want to put on CD/DVD.
- Step 3
Once the ISO image is burned onto the CD/DVD, insert the CD/DVD in the reader of the computer you want to boot from.
- Step 4
Press the appropriate key to open the "Boot" menu on your computer. Select the CD/DVD drive and press "Enter."
