Linux Mint virtualbox Windows iso/.box needed to get Windows work.?

Question

Ok I am running Linux MInt 13 (I don't trust 14 yet) and I want to run my Windows programs. I tried Wine, Playonlinux, and vineyard and they don't work. The only thing that works with them is Note Pad. That is rediculust the only Windows program that works is a Note Pad. I was left with no choice, but to download virtualbox. Do any of you out there know where I can find a working windows Iso that I don't have to mod. I need it to be a .vbox or what ever type of file format that works out of the box and the link that will let me download it from this question. I know it might sound like I am being picky, but it is just that I tried Iso before and the reguler ones don't work.

I tied legal copys and it said that the file was corupted and I tried XP, Vista, 7, and Windows 8. None seam to work. I tried downloading legal trial versions from the Windows site, but they don't work or you have to be a member. I know that iso files don't work. I tried both Windows, Mac, and React OS. None of them have any versions that work. Maby Virualbox is not stable on Linux Mint? I know that Wine hardly works on Mint so maby can that be the problem with Virtualbox? I know lots of Linux users have this problem. Most people make vid's about how to put Windows in Virtualbox, but most never had a DVD like me. It also might be that virtualbox is to advanced for my computer (exWindows Vista hardwear)? I don't know I am at a loss. If you know where I can get the file and how to get it to work please anwser?

Ok so I KNow that Virutalbox works but it does not work with Windows I don't know of where to get the .vbox file. I need one in order for Windows. If you now of a place where I can that file or a ISO of Windows that works on virtualbox that is 64-bit.

Answer 1

Get a dell windows cd OR any windows cd dell is the best and set vbox to boot from the cd and do a install to a virtual drive. Easy.
