Hello, I have this issue I've been trying to deal with since I bought my external HDD.
The issue is this : I would like to play videogames that I install on my HDD on any computer that I plug my HDD to.
I know that alot of games need to change some registry keys in order to function, so I could just make a registry entry and apply it on whatever computer I go on. However, on some computers (i.e. at school), I'm not allowed to change registry keys (of course), so I was thinking of installing a windows on my external HDD, but then again it just won't boot on a different system.
So I've been thinking... I've heard of Virtual PC, do you think it could be used to solve my problem? I'm not exactly sure how does Virtual PC work, so far I understand that it's a windows emulator... but would it work on any PC I use it? Hence I could install the games via Virtual PC and just play them on it. I'm not thinking about killer games like Crysis or even half-life 2. I'm thinking more about Baldur's Gate, Starcraft, Warcraft and any kind of little games pretty much any systems today are able to deal with.
Thanks in advance!
