VM7 is a Install Any OS VM ([[VM8|and a series of Install Any OS VMs]]) that debuted in December 2021. The VM allows any user to install any OS they want, either through Lily or Dartz's ISO folder or from a website using <code>!httpcd (url)</code>. A list of them can be found at [http://computernewb.com/~dartz/isos http://computernewb.com/~dartz/isos] and [http://computernewb.com/~lily/ISOs http://computernewb.com/~lily/ISOs].

There is also an alternate version of VM7 for older operating systems you can use, called VM8. [[VM8|You can view the article for it here.]]
 
Users interact with the VM through a bot named [[AnyOSInstallBot]]. Another way users can interact with the VM is the default [[iPXE]] which is named "CollabVM iPXE", a custom version of iPXE. This iPXE version behaves similar to vanilla iPXE, VM8 does not have this however.
