You can install windows without sighted assistance by using the WAIK. It is
completely accessible, free, and easy to learn from what I've sort of done
with it.

It seems that Virtual Box doesn't support the creation of a virtual machine
from a physical machine? Read through most of the manual but couldn't find
anything on this. Seems like you can only create a new, clean VM on which
you then have to install a new OS from scratch.
Going to try VMWare VCenter Converter Stand Alone, which claims to be able
to create a virtual machine from a physical one.
