I'll need to activate my Win7 install in a VirtualBox VM soon. It's a
legit copy with a legit code, all brand new/unused.
I want to ensure that the VM will work even when the underlying laptop is
upgraded in the future. Thus I started worrying about CPUID pass-thru,
etc. I want to be sure I tweak everything now to avoid re-activation in
the future.
What things should I worry about here? Is there anything more than just
CPUID?
Looks like VB has a difficult way to set CPUID, not in the GUI. Then the
next question is, what do I set it to?
Does the CPUID provide just a id of the model of CPU, or does it also
include a CPU serial #? If the latter, then I guess you need to make sure
it's unique for that version of Windows or they may deny activation??
Any other thoughts? Thanks!
