1. A portable computing device comprising:
a first hypervisor executing a first virtual machine according to a set of executed instructions in order to cause the portable computing device to:
establish a connection with a computing system, wherein the connection is made via a docking station, and wherein the docking station includes a lock to prevent the portable computing device from disconnecting with the docking station while the connection with the computing system is established;generate a prompt on the portable computing device that the connection is established and wait for a confirmation that the first virtual machine is to be executed by a second hypervisor of the computing system;provide, via the connection, access to the first virtual machine to enable the computing system to execute the first virtual machine;prevent disconnection with the computing system by using the lock when the first virtual machine is being executed by the second hypervisor of the computing system;determine that the connection, between the portable computing device and the computing system, is to be disconnected;in response to determining that the connection is to be disconnected, send a snap shot signal to the computing system to cause the computing system to generate a final snap shot of the first virtual machine, the final snap shot identifying most recent changes made to the first virtual machine;based on sending the snap shot signal, receive the final snap shot from the computing system; andin response to receiving the final snap shot, release the lock and disconnect with the computing system.
