To do so, you will need about 2 GB RAM, and 16 GB of free space on your hard disk, no partitioning needed. You will also need Windows 7 DVD or ISO Image file, and a valid serial key of Windows 7 (Free beta version). Also you need to download and install Virtual PC, a free utility from Microsoft.

3. After this, run the Virtual Machine you created in step 2, and insert the Widows 7 DVD in tray or use the ISO image to start the installation.
4. This will start the setup.
5. Click on Install Now, select the language, time format etc. and press next.
6. On Next screen select custom setup.
7. In next step you will see the virtual drive that you created in 2 above, select the drive & click 'Next'.
8. Wait till it copies files and extracts them.
9. After this process, it will reboot the virtual machine.
10. Enter the Windows 7 Beta version serial number.
11. Set the time format, some other security settings and network settings that it asks for.
12. Select the update settings.
