Hi Guys,
Its nice to be back again here in F1, all you rock :thumbs:


Project :
Now I have both My laptop (Bedroom) and PC (Kitchen) Connected to my router
I want my PC to upgrade (which I will be doing in this weekend If time permits) and make PC as Main Home Based Server

* So I can share files between my home computers and
* Host Website from home so my family from overseas can upload and download files to home based server

Question :

Here for testing purpose I would like to set-up Virtual environment first so even if I go wrong, I do not want much hassle
of wiping out everything and rebuild.

* Can you guys please suggest me a FREE Virtual Machine solution I can use.
* My skill level is intermediate so I can manage more than little issues to face in VM set-up,
* But gain, I rely mostly on F1 to get me though.
* If any of you guys have done above project then their advise will be appreciated.

Please help
