No, I meant the latter. I'd like to be able to move my existing installation into a VM.

But the article referenced earlier is the first instance I've heard of
launching a hypervisor type program while the original host system was
running.

That's why I asked, I'd not heard of that either.

It certainly sounded suspiciously advanced to me.

Especially on a win32 machine, where changing hardware usually requires driver shenanigans. And as far as the OS is concerned, it's changed hardware.
