Then something is fishy.
(Also one reason to keep the Win in the dual-boot manner is that
I have a valid OEM license there, which I believe cannot be
migrated to VM.)
That's incorrect - I've done (automated) many, many times successfully
with all versions of Windoof except the latest. Your biggest problems
will be support for external devices (USB/LP/Com/Firewire) and that's
determined by, correct settings, CPU support.
He probably has an OEM SLP license, married to a key in the original
machine bios, which won't work in the VM because it obviously has a
different bios that doesn't have the key.
I think there are ways of overcoming this, inserting the "key" in the VM
bios, but I doubt it's legal.
