Virtual Machine Test Assistance

[INTI]

I'm trying to test my new Windows ISO in Virtual Machine and was mostly successful in installing a clean system. However, one of the things I wanted to check out was that the drivers for each of my hardware components installed correctly into the virtual machine setup. Upon looking at my device manager in the in the virtual machine install, I noticed that many of the drivers are not listed for various hardware profiles. Is this normal? Is it correct to see an "Intel Pentium II Processor to PCI Bridge" driver listed when I have an AMD Athlon processor? I just don't see a lot of what I would have expected when comparing my current system devices to what I see in the virtual environment. Which leads me to a more general question, what exactly should one look for when testing a Windows ISO in virtual machine? Am I simply looking for a smooth installation? Do I need to check that every addon to make sure it works? How does one check to see that the specific drivers took to the intended hardware? I was unsuccessful finding anything on the board that explains this. Perhaps I'm not searching on the correct term or board.

Thanks,

Not all your actual physical devices will show up on the virtual machine and a virtual machine test is to make sure your programs and stuff installed, its to make sure you did not integrate a bad addon or removed something that broke your install
