I have an old app from about 2006, it is a Jukebox that I run in a Jukebox I built many years ago. The Jukebox won't boot anymore so I have another computer which I am going to strip down to fit in. I figured this Jukebox app would probably run better on an old OS so am going to run Win XP in a VM. Is Oracle Virtualbox the way to go ? Never used a VM before."It is better to be ignorant and ask a stupid question than to be plain Stupid and not ask at all"

I have used a few and VirtualBox is the best in my opinion. I have almost a dozen VMs for various situations from DOS 3.1 to Win10, Ubuntu and Kali. All work great.

VirtualBox is the one I always use in Linux, when I am playing with a Windoze VM. It's pretty advanced software, at this stage.
VM's gobble RAM though, so make sure you have plenty - 8GB MINIMUM, preferably 16GB.
