No responses? Is there any more information that I could post that might make it easier to diagnose this issue?
For what its worth, I was able to make a non-template winVM on another computer (before I quite understood that I could make a WinTemplate) and then restored it onto my current computer and it works well enough, but I really think the best model for me would be using a wintemplate if possible, and was hoping to figure out why the intstalling win7 on this win7-x64-template isn't working? Thoughts would be apprecaited. On Sat, Apr 29, 2017 at 10:34 AM, Gaiko Kyofusho < [email protected]> wrote: > I am trying to setup a win7 template.
