    I need to use multiple version of Explorer to test web sites (3 in total)

    I read the manual, but I have difficulties to choose what will be the best for me.


    If I use a Clone, it’s easy, the only problem it take more disk space...

    If I use the Snapshots, I see all kind of warning about the resizing and compressing of the virtual machine (and the Disk partition itself (if I understand well?)


    I just need some advices to help me choose.

    Thanks in advance.

    Clone.
    Snapshots are useful for rolling back to a previous state, they work in a linear way, it's a sort of Time Machine, where you can roll back to a previous state and do something different.

    Not sure if you are aware of this, but microsoft does provide streamed down virtual machines with the different versions of IE.
