{{DISPLAYTITLE:How to install Windows 7 in QEMU}}
[[File:7Desktop.png|thumb|The Windows 7 desktop.]]
'''Windows 7''' is an operating system created by Microsoft, released October 22, 2009. Support ended on January 14, 2020.
Windows 7 works great as a VM for CollabVM. VM 1 on CollabVM runs Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and has been running Windows 7 for around 2 years.
Windows 7 is, however, painfully slow without virtualization, so if you don't have a server with virtualization, you may want to go with [[Windows XP]] instead. You may also have luck with [https://crustywindo.ws/Tiny7 Tiny7] on systems without virtualization.
'''Recommended version''': Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit with Service Pack 1
Or if running without root or virtualization:
<pre>qemu-system-i386 -hda win7.img -boot c -cpu qemu64 -m 1G -vga std -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -usbdevice tablet -localtime</pre>
====Setting up your VM====
After going through the OOBE, it is recommended to go through gpedit.msc and manage some policies. If you have an AD (Active Directory) server, you can hook up your VM to that and manage policies there. If you want, you can also "debloat" the OS making it run slightly faster, though, versions earlier than 8.1 are not as bad.
