I've got a windows xp and windows 7 OEM versions in vm fusion machines and have had no problems authorising them even after authorisation on other machines.
I don't understanmd what you mean. If you own the licence, why can't you put it on the vm?

I am planning to use fusion occasionally and I've got a question. According to the documentation, their migration assistant may not work on an OEM version of Windows that comes with a computer. So even though I have a valid, licensed copy of windows on my old laptop, fusion can't move it into a virtual machine because It's only licensed to that computer. Does anyone know where to find the best deal on a legitimate copy of windows? Anything from XP onward will work. It's too bad that I have to do this in the first place. I'd rather abandon Windows, but my Information Technology degree requires classes on Microsoft office 2007. And now I learn that I have to buy Windows all over again for my new mac because of licensing rules. Another reminder of why I'm switching.

It's what I do and windows works like any other task on the mac. You can switch back and forth from and to windows and os 10, and everything inside windows works just fine. Doing this involves getting VmWare fusion which is the program to run windows in. Next a windows installation CD or an iso file for that matter, and a valid windows license key. If you don't want to pay extra for a screen reader, NVDA is a good thing to use. Just an idea, to give you an alternative to buying a physical windows machine. Running windows on the mac gives many advantages for a blind person, in terms of backing up, solving problems and so on.

There are some pages, many of which are very important to me, that you just cannot access. I love my Mac very much, but the sad truth is that if you have Flash-intensive pages that you want to access, you will not want to try it with your Mac at this time.

Is this true, because if it is, it just may be a dealbraker, as I often access many of the sports sites that use flash.
