You must have some very expensive hardware. I'm running VirtualBox
VMs on my laptop; which has a Windows 7 OS and two of those VM are
different versions of Windows. The problem I have with my VM on my
laptop is that when I'm away from the external drives I have the
virtual disks stored on they don't work; but that is a seldom
occurrence.
