→PART 1: NESTED VIRTUAL MACHINE
Since we're forced to use a Windows machine as the main VM host, we're going to have to set up nested virtualisation. Luckily that's not too difficult.
* Change the settings for your c7host to have at least 4GB of RAM(8 would be better), and enable "Virtual Intel VT-X/EPT or AMD-V/RVI" under VM/Settings/Processors.
* Install the following packages: qemu-kvm qemu-img virt-manager libvirt libvirt-python libvirt-client virt-install virt-viewer bridge-utils
* Make sure (using <code>systemctl enablestatus</code>) that the libvirtd service starts at boot.
* Those will include both the KVM hypervisor and Virt Manager, which is a graphical tool used to administer it.
* Create a new virtual machine with the following settings:
** Will be installed from the network: https://mirror.senecacollege.ca/centos/7/os/x86_64/ or http://mirror.netflash.net/centos/7/os/x86_64/
** 2GB of RAM(needed for installation, you should change it to 512MB after the install is done)
** 10GB of disk
** NAT for networking
