10 comments VM Windows will need to be recreated when moving to El Capitan Yosemite in the host operating system?
I have 8 Fusion installed on Yosemite. I have a guest VM Windows 10 and works well. When I install El Capitan, do I have to recreate the Windows 10 VM guest or it should run with El Capitan as the host operating system? Thank you!
Hello
Upgrade to El Capitan shouldn't matter to your guest operating system, it must continue to operate as is.
However, DO NOT wipe your drive on the update as then it might erase your VM.
So best thing - as always - is to make a backup of your VM - with the virtual machine closed down and merge not running - before the upgrade to El Capitan.

Windows XP SP 32 bit comments
A scanner and a printer are available for Windows XP hardware drivers. No hardware drivers are available for Windows 7.
If the hardware drivers for these devices are installed on the client Windows XP OS will work?
Thank you.
Welcome to the community of users.
The answer is (as usual), it depends on...
My experience has been the following:
If your printer/scanner is usb based, there is a reasonable chance that it will work.
I have an old HP Scanjet (USB key) and an old Belkin UPS (USB) that both require drivers and software that only work under XP. I have an XP VM I'm running pilots of each device and software in and everything works.
I also have an old LasetJet HP (parallel port) that is not supported directly by Windows 7 and more. For this I used a USB-parallel converter > and in a VM XP, I am able to access and print. A Linux VM also recognizes the printer via the number of series-parallel adapter > and I can print it as well.
In any case, I only install the drivers for the virtual machine, not on the host computer. In fact, I can't install the drivers on the host computer, even if I wanted to, they can not even the installation of Win 7 and including Win 7-64 bit host.
If your hardware requires a custom Board, plugged into the motherboard (such as SCSI controllers) used in early scanners, the chances are pretty good it won't work that desktop doesn't pass through for PCI device (or other).
I had especially good luck with USB devices. (Not all, but most).
You'll probably just to try it and see...
Good luck.

RDP of comments to the host operating system
Using VMware server 1 on a box of Windows XP 32 bit, I have a ubuntu vitual current execution machine. I have ssh open via the vitural ubuntu machine since I know how to secure * nix a lot more than I do windows. But sometimes I have to use a program on my XP machine remotely, in which case I need to remote desktop of Ubuntu to Windows hosted OS virtual machine. Whenever I do that, the RDP Protocol to connect, but then freezes, closes and I get the error 'connection reset by peer '.
I googled for answers to this problem, but have only found people trying to rdp between the host and the guest. This isn't what I do.
Are there any changes I have to do to make this work?
It's a normal bridged interface. Thank you.
You connect virtual machine Ubuntu to XP box... the XP box that hosts the same virtual machine Ubuntu? So then realize that RDP to XP does NOT allow for the interaction of the console. If the RDP session has control. But the RDP session is displayed on the virtual machine, which is displayed on the host XP computer. If you can not RDP to host any virtual machine running on XP host. (Try RDPing from another physical machine to your XP box and see what is happening on the screen of your XP box.) Windows Server operating system can be configured to be the Terminal Server farm, which would allow you to RDP to host because you do not take the console. But not on XP (Vista or Win7.)
So, you'll have to RDP to another physical or virtual computer that is NOT hosted on the area of XP you are trying to connect to.

People,Hello. I'm under VMPlayer 3. My OS is Windows 7 and the guest operating system is Windows XP.
Because the virtual guest OS Windows XP hard drive is full, I need to decompress. http://wmtoolkit.com/files/folders/converters/entry87.aspx does not work.
My question is:
Can any folk provide a link to download VHD Resizer for guest Windows XP and Windows 7 host?
Thanks in advance.
First of all, is correct install VHD resizer in Windows 7 operating system and not guest OS Windows XP host?
No it should not be installed in any to resize a VMware virtual hard drive. The .vhd file extension is used with Microsoft virtulazition no VMware. (Does not mean a .vhd cannot be used, as it can however it not typical.)
Secondly, what file is selected to resize?
None like which is not how a VMware virtual disk gets developed from the interface of VMware Player!
Resize a virtual hard drive via the VMware Player GUI is done using the Expand command on the Utilities menu, when you select the virtual hard disk under settings of the virtual machine on the material tab
Suggest you only look in the help file in VMware Player! VMware Player 3.x menu > help > Help topics > use of disks and drives > Virtual Machine disk storage > parameters of the hard disk to the virtual disks
Once the disc has been extended then the virtual partition to be resized and Andre, I like to use GParted Live ISO Image.
Thirdly, why no unoccupied hard disk in the virtual Windows XP computer after resizing settings completed?
Not sure what you mean by "why no empty disc ', 'unoccupied '? Screenshot of the Hardware tab for the target VM THAT could help explain what you mean by 'unoccupied '. However if you try to resize a VMware virtual hard drive in VMware Player 3.x then extend the disk in the virtual machine settings, then use info to the link provided by André in the first reply in this thread!

I have Windows XP SP3 on a Dell computer. I have a new computer with Windows 7 Pro.
I want the option to be able to start my new computer with XP and run it as an alternative to USB.
Is there a way I can completely transfer the contents of the drive WITH the XP OPERATING SYSTEM on a regular external USB3 drive so I can start the new computer using XP works like the operating system, when I need?
Thank you.
You do not have. Windows XP doesn't work this way (start of the external drive).
You can virtualize the old computer (physical to virtual conversion) and run it as a virtual machine on your new system. Although, honestly, it would be a bit beyond the type of assistance usually given in these home user forums. A Google search would be ways to virtualize a physical system and/or choose which Manager of virtualization that you want to use (Microsoft VirtualPC, VirtualBox, VMware Player/workstation, etc...)

I have Vista 32 bit Home Premium.It does not support Windows Mail.Which is the best operating system to upgrade from Vista? Should I buy Windows 7, 8 or 8.1? I do not have a touch screen system, my system is five years old.
Original title: upgrade
Hello WilliamPopat,
If you want to buy an another operating system, you would do better to buy the latest version, i.e., Windows 8.1 it doesn't matter that you don't have a touch screen like Windows 8.1 will work just as well on a desktop PC / laptop normal.
However, before rushing and buying a copy of Windows 8.1, I suggest that you look at this link http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/11885-windows-8-upgrade-assistant-download-run.html the link above shows Windows 8 Upgrade Wizard you can download (free) and allows you to check that your PC is compatible with the latest version of Windows.
According to me, one of my office machines is around 5 or 6 years and Windows 8/8.1 works fine on it. However, it is best to check your own machine with the wizard upgrade just in case.

The size of the base operating system Windows Vista on my Aspire 3680 2682 is larger than 20 GB, is this normal?
Hello
Yes; It's normal.
In addition to the original operating system, you have updates, restore points of the system (set at 15% of the capacity of the hard drive) etc, etc.
It will continue to grow.
If you are worried about anything whatsoever, do a disk cleanup.

Windows XP instead of Vista.
I would like to install Windows XP on my computer and get rid of the Vista operating system. Can I do this? I only have 512 MB of Ram and 32-bit processor.Hello
There are a few things that you would have to do to install XP instead of Vista:
1. contact the manufacturer of your computer and see if the XP drivers are available for your computer model to make sure that XP has worked properly in this regard.
2. If the XP Drivers are available, buy a XP disk operating system / license. Try local computer repair shops because Microsoft sells more than XP and online sale buy you pirated copies can cause. Be very careful.
3 XP runs with 512 MB of RAM, although a little slow by today's standards.
4. do a clean install of XP. Make sure that all your data is backed up as the hard will be cleaned of everything during the Installation of XP.

I recently changed to windows 7 from vista. I was wondering if there is a way to recover old photos of the vista operating system... If so can someone help me
If you did an upgrade and not a clean install, they must remain on your drive. Do a search of *.jpg, *.jpeg and see what you get. If I remember correctly, you will have a folder windows.old that they appear in. You can use Windows Explorer if you want to look in your records in the Windows.Old directory.
I hope this helps.
