So just thought I would throw this out there. Basically in a few easy steps, you can make your current desktop - files/profiles and everything a virtual environment for a backup or for usage.

Basically download this
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi...56415.aspx

Select your drive like I have in this picture - choose what the output file name/location will be and hit create



Now open up virtual box - Click New - name it what you want and select the type of machine it is, don't add hard drive now.
Then click settings after you make it, Click storage then hit the green plus button at the bottom.

Click IDE Then hit choose existing disk, then choose your file you made (VHD)




Now you can hit start and enjoy it!


Here's a video I made for those who don't understand. Sorry it's so long, was running some other shit at the same time.

Really good to have snapshots of your PC, best way to do it is install windows fresh - disable everything you don't need, remove all the files you don't want + install what you do want.

Now you can make copies of the VHD file as many as you want and each one will be that state from boot.

Always keep a VHD of windows to test malware / reverse engineer it!

Very interesting if you have the hardware to support it, I always just run a stripped version of XP to reduce load but I might just actually do this to reverse on instead, thanks.
