Yeah VirtualBox is my goto solution for this. I have Win95, WinXP, Win2000, Win8.1, Win10, Linux Ubuntu, Android86x, OSX Leopard
I basically used the original disks/licenses I had from older machines or grabbed isos following online tutorials using developer testing licenses
I actually use virtual box as my work pc. So my work and personal is separated.
I can easily backup/snapshot my work machine or move my work VM to another physical machine. Same using a VM to run any archived games you might find online that may have hidden malware that kills your main machine. Connecting to work VPN within a VM and free to listen to music streams or Netflix in my main desktop without receiving any angry IT emails from work. Because my main laptop(win8) is now overdue for replacement I am thinking to install Linux and VirtualBox and just run it as a VM server.
