Once upon a time I had Windows XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10 VMs running

(Gene's disease, 88 come Sunday) and would welcome any reminders.
The sources are all licensed products on CD-ROMs and VirtualBox seems to
expect ISO inputs which is, of course a non-starter.
It's very easy to run them as VMs under KVM/Qemu.
The VMs boot directly off iso images.
