Vista.vhd can be upgraded with windows 8

My system is i3 w/10 gb mem, 500 GB drive, Windows 7 pro is installed.

I love Windows 7 but I don't want to upgrade to Windows 8 until I really test.

My question is: I want to install my old version of vista home in the .vhd drive & upgraded to windows 8 pro and dual-boot it.

Would this work?

Thanks for your suggestions.

Hello

If I understand correctly you have a copy of Windows Vista, registered as a virtual hard disk (.) VHD) and you want to upgrade Windows 8 and install it on the computer windows 7 as a dual-boot configuration. Am I wrong?
I would like to mention that on the installation of Vista or Window 8 as a dual boot on Windows 7 is a valid task. However, all the Windows 8 installation on older operating systems like Windows Vista should be a custom installation of Windows 8 and Vista cannot be upgraded to Windows 8.
