I'm not a lawyer, but I think that the Windows version you get on a laptop
is an OEM version. That is it costs less since you can use it on the
specific hardware you bought, but not on anything else. So I'm not sure how
legal will it be to use it on a VM. (Maybe MS won't let you do that by EULA,
but the EULA is illegal, however I think that the OEM version must run on
the hardware it was installed on).
