That's what I'm doing (Xubuntu host, VMs for Windows 2000, XP, 7, 10, 11). Considering the speed, it helps to use a NVMe drive for the VMs. BTW, I don't seem to be using the 2000 one much anymore. The XP one is good for running old browsers to use to check on my website. I don't want Vista or 8. -- Mark Lloyd http://notstupid.us/ "They are not jackbooted Nazi thugs.
