Umm, actually this has been discussed twice before in two past issues. (Please use the search bar next time) https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/issues/2683 https://github.com/Botspot/pi-apps/issues/2623 It's no big deal, don't worry :)

As I understand it, this tool is not a one-stop-shop for getting a VM running. You need to find an ISO, find drivers, and do a lot of additional steps to do anything useful. How useful would this be for beginner users? Have you considered adding detailed instructions for actually setting up Win98, Win95, and Win10 VMs?

It would be very easy to use for beginners. Plus, I might make a guide for the beginners just learning to use it.
