Vm ware

GtPro12 · #1 01-13-2016

Hi guys. I just signed up to 24vc and vmware.so I'm no techy so was confused a bit about vmware. When I have to add an OS like window 7 8 10 or windows xp. Do I have to buy a hard copy and install it to my vmware or is it a download version from somewhere? Sorry guys if this is one of those questions that make you smack your forehead and shake your head moments. I'm just stumped. Thanks guys

Hi, can simply download an .iso image of the OS you wish to use from online

Would you be able to tell me from where?
I have your vm ware guide but it didn't explain the OS installation or anything like that.

Yeah can simply get it off torrents or just buy a cheap CD off ebay for XP either way works

Why use VM ware. Why not a new new user on the pc, far easier and I have never had problems running several accounts on 1 MacBook

can just create a new user for each account

i use both and vmware can be used by buying xp for 20 quid off ebay or downloading it (be careful of viruses)

Because it's modular and scaleable for large number of accounts without clutter up your real computer.
You can carry the VM around and use it on other computers too. If you use separate user accounts on a PC outside of a VM, sure it'll work. However if that PC fails for whatever reason, you can kiss those accounts good bye.

how do you use firefox portable for different accounts ?

eg if you have 5 accounts and use a browser and VPN to open your accounts, how do you then open another browser window without any linkage ?

When you use Vmware, each VM is a virtual computer isolated within your hard drive. So there is no possibility of information leaking from one VM to another. Each of my VM's has it's own portable firefox on the virtual hard drive, and each VM is also configured to connect to it's own dedicated VPN. If you understand the configuration, it's the perfect stealth solution in my opinion. Switching between accounts is 10x faster than it would be when using User Accounts. VM's are also portable which makes backup's really simple, plus you can access your accounts from any computer, any where.

I also store all of my VM's on a flash drive, as well as my laptops hard drive and a backup portable hard drive. My stealth setup is 100% secure and double redundant.

I'm not even change a user account. Just close the Firefox browser when I'm done and open another if I need to (with change my IP)

Hi GTPro12:

I was just in your shoes last week. I ordered XP Professional from ebay for $22 free ship. Arrived in a few days and installs like a charm. I've been able to do multiple installs with the same disk as well.

That works too, but I personally prefer a VM for higher level of isolation

i was using a dongle, 4 user accounts in one laptop.
my 4 accounts all suspended in 30 mins. since then, what i do is each cheap pc for one single account.
it's a stupid way, but it's the safest way.
seems i need to learn more to steath.
Tony set up a good sample to be learnt.

Did you remove and reinsert the dongle each time you logged onto each amazon account to change your IP

yes, i did. somehow it's still linking.
what i can only tkink of is that even we use different user account, there are still something shared in this pc, that's why amazon can detect it.
to set up amazon account becoming harder and harder, i dare not to use this method.

You can use any version....I have several in Windows XP, Windows 7.....but refuse to use Windows 8 and 10. You can also use other Operating Systems as well.

Nevertheless, torrents aren't for everyone. Paying for your bootleg copy is also an option.

As a start, you do realize Windows XP is a 14 year old OS which Microsoft has abandoned years ago right?
