    I just installed w10 in a Tumbleweed vBox, all the files going to a data drive under .../vBoxes/w10p. To have the same access to this virtual windows from Slowroll or from Devuan for example, do I just point
    VirtualBox to that same directory? Will this cause issues if the vBox version in those distros is different?

    there's a change that different versions of virtualbox mat present a
    different hardware signature, how windows licencing responds to multiple "hardware changes" is anyones guess.

    Thanks, that was 3 weeks ago, since then the solutions:problems ratio
    has evolved form an ideal 10:1 to a practical 1:10, or rather 0:10
    because the sole objective in my using windows even under vBox is still illusive :-(
