   It would help that you would know what a VM is.   
      
   A VM is a emulated environment, what is being emulated is hardware, Hdd's are   
   created using very big files, the VM borrows free memory from the host. A   
   netbook has hardly the desired horsepower to run a VM.   
      
   I am typing to you from inside a VM....   
      
   Host OS: Windows 8.1 x64 Core i7 8gb ram   
      
   VM emulator: Hyper-V   
      
   Guest OS: Windows 7 Ultimate x86, 2 gb ram   
      
   You can create bootable media to load a operating environment, in which they   
   create a ram drive, which you know is volatile, most of these environments are   
   intended as system rescue.
