Hello, I have been trying to copy HP Touchsmart 520 (Windows 7) over to Virtualbox (Windows 10 PC) but only fails.

 

Progress: 

Used larger USB and partitioned Windows 7 to fit in 64 GB USB

1. After cloning 1 time only HP boot usb (16gb) to larger USB for extra space:
Booted with HOST/IO cache, took very long, made it to setup background then ERROR popup.
Failed

2. Made a recovery drive from EaseUS
Booted but only to recovery.
Failed

3. Clonezilla: Made an image for partitioned C drive (56 GB), System partition, and HP Recovery Drive and converted to ISO
All failed to boot

 

Images were converted to ISO and attached as optical drive.

Tried burning ISO's to USB and attaching to Virtual Machine, same results.

 

Programs used: 

Clonezilla

Imgburn

EaseUS

Rufus

 

ISO: Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 English x64

 

Additional Info: 

Have a set of 4 System Recovery Discs (A7C03AV)
