I am fairly new to using virtual machines. Just recently started messing with them. I have Windows 11 running on Virtual Box without any issues that I noticed. This is the part I don't understand. The host computer is running an i7-920 cpu, which is several years old, is not able to run windows 11 because of requirement issues. If the host computer can't run windows 11, how is a VM able to run it? I mean it actually runs on less hardware than the host machine, correct?
