I know of no reason you couldn't load DOS 7.1 into Virtual Box.

You can load it but it will not work 100%. Depending on what you need,
VirtualBox, QEMU etc. do not work very well with DOS. Many programs like
Borland TASM, and MS MASM crash the VM.

Maybe a simpler and easier route would be to go to the pawn shop,
Goodwill, flea markets, etc. and buy a desktop that will run DOS without
jumping through hoops.

The other problem (which is often a big problem, particularly with games),
is being able to slow down the programs to run properly (i.e. usably) on a
current system. There are some programs that "steal" CPU cycles to try to
accomplish this, but they often don't work too well.
