I wonder what will happen if I virtualise my windows 7 pro 64 on my own HP z420 workstation and try to run it in the cloud - there will be no problems with this? the virtual system will not check for the cloud hardware to match the original z420 hardware?
This is a really mission-critical question for me….
Ideally I wish to fully virtualise a windows which has an automated routine constantly being executed – I need to be totally sure that I can do these two things with this virtual image (in case main machine dies):
1) I can run it on any other PC in the VMware (it can be another z420, z620 or a simple desktop computer).
2) I can clone my disk and just swap it to another pc (it can be another z420, z620 or a simple desktop computer).
In light of the above – does it make sense to install a simple Windows 7 (with a key bought online) – add the necessary drivers, run on z420 and then virtualize/clone the Windows to run on any other computer? Instead of virtualising windows 7 pro 64 from the original, native recovery media included with my own HP z420 workstation?
