Windows 7 and Virtual PC

MS Virtual PC works with Windows 7 Home Premium?  I need to continue to use the programs and files on my old XP that don't work not with 7, wps and wdb files in particular.

Hello

Windows Virtual PC is the latest Microsoft virtualization technology. It allows you to run many applications of productivity in a virtual Windows environment, with a single click, directly from a Windows 7 computer.

  • Running under Windows 98 and more on virtual machines?

    Hello

    I am wandering how I would go about installing and running Windows 98 and more on a virtual machine, if that is at all possible. Also if it is possible what is the oldest that we can run on a virtual machine?

    It's just for fun and I'm kind of feeling nostalgic lol. I am aware that the new and latest OS is Windows 10 I have and like you.

    I am currently a student at CompTIA now and think practically I realize that the chances of ever falling on a user with Windows 98 are extremely low.

    I saw a show called Winworld PC that I can have a look at. However, I also wanted to check to see if you guys have any other recommendations.

    Thank you.

  • Don't port look for a printer in windows xp mode and virtual PC

    Have an older Calcomp plotter.  Used with Win xp.  The drivers are not compatible with windows 7 (64).  Upgrade to Win 7 Professional, downloaded xp mode and virtual PC.  All right.  Installed my plotter in xp Mode, but can't seem to find the plotter to printer usb port is connected to.  Knowledge tracer works because as I tried different ports, the test print on my HP printer that is set up a home network.  Reading the different instructions, but they are above my head.   Have HP touchsmart w / three usb ports on the back.  One of these ports to connect printer.  I think I need to make a set to the top of USB devices in xp mode, but do not understand what I have to do.  Anyone using xp mode and windows virtual PC with windows 7 that can simply explain it would be appreciated greatly.

    In XP Mode, set the plotter to XP Mode in the USB menu in XP Mode header bar.

  • I had the opportunity to see all the drives in windows 7 and XP virtual machine on the same screen. He suddenly disappeared, and I need.

    As I set up my computer with Windows 7 Professional and XP virtual machine, I could see all the readers, W7 and the virtual machine on the same screen. I can't do now for some reason any. All I can understand what is is past is that I got a page long list of automatic updates of W7 and some XP updates and as far as I know, the current page of readers has disappeared since then.  I need this feature if I can transfer files between W7 and XP because some of my programs are in one program of windows. I have nothing special when I installed XP to achieve this functionality, so I really don't understand what it controls.  How can I get that back?

    I have solved my problem by trying everything that moves. Here are my steps:
    -Open Virtual PC and minimize it
    -In the Windows 7 machine, click Start click all programs
    -Select Windows Virtual PC
    -Select Windows Virtual PC (in the drop-down list)
    -When the window opens, right-click on Windows XP Mode
    -Select share >
    -Select the homegroup (read/write)

    -Minimized open Virtual PC
    -Select my computer
    Windows 7 disks will be under other

    I hope this works for you also. As I said, it worked like this until I had a huge list of automatic updates of Windows 7 and XP more some updates. Apparently, one of them cut something.

  • Cannot download mode xp and virtual pc for windows 7

    My old laptop died.  A new one with win 7 pro.  Try to download windows xp mode and virtual pc.  Site bloody Web keeps telling me to download and run WindowsActivationUpdate.exe.  I do, and when I click on the button continue, he wants to download me the same bloody file.  Major circle jerk.  Any suggestions on how to get the microsoft Web site to stop wasting my time and give me the bloody files?  Also, about what support do you think that microsoft consider it a part of?

    Hello Unknown69,

    To be able to download the XP Mode and Virtual PC for Windows 7, first of all, it performs a validation check to verify that the version of Windows that you are using is genuine.

    If you download and allow it to check, once your computer is validated you will be able to download the files in XP Mode and Virtual PC.

    I hope this helps.

  • License of Windows machine 10 virtual (digital rights) can be transferred to Bootcamp?

    I have 10 Windows in a virtual machine on my Mac. I upgraded to 10 Windows in Windows 7 in the virtual machine. So my Windows 10 license (called) right digital and connected to my Microsoft account. I am eligible to activate Windows on the same material again.

  • How much better the partition of the HARD drive for dual boot: Windows 8 and Linux

    Hello

    I am a newbie in Windows 8, linux, Partition...

    I want to use my new laptop with windows 8 pre-installed on the following:

    Create a Dual Boot Windows 8 / Ubuntu
    Create on my drive C (single disk on my laptop):

    * a partition for the system
    * one for Windows 8
    * one for data and
    least for Ubuntu OS

    My goal is:

    -to install VmWare on Windows 8 and run Splat Checkpoint with virtual machines to make the FCTC laboratories.

    to install GNS3 on Ubuntu for CCNP Labs but with GNS3 to access the files in the data partition

    I have a Toshiba Satellite with 750 GB and 8 GB of RAM.

    According to you, what is the best size for my scores?
    Is there a better way to partition my C drive on my goal?

    Best regards

    I don't know if this is the right section, sorry for that. Feel free to move this thread in the appropriate section *.

    I think the size of partitions depends of the you want to use and install other software.
    So if you have a lot of software which runs under the Windows System I recommend to choose a larger size to win 8 partition.

    However, given that you have a 750 GB HARD drive, you could take 200GB for Win 8, 100 GB to Linux and the rest of the HARD drive size, that you can use for data.

    By the way: I found Nice YouTube video how to create a dual boot using 8 Win and Linux http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E_Yd2jK-7Jg

  • Windows in a virtual machine

    Hello

    My X200s new comes with preloaded Vista Business and 3 CD marked as "Rescue and recovery disk for Windows XP" and "Windows XP Professional SP2 product recovery disc 1 & 2", respectively. " I want to repartition the disk, remove Vista in the process, install linux Ubuntu 64-bit, and then install Windows XP in a virtual VMware or VirtualBox machine. The question is, are provided enough CD do a XP install in a virtual machine?

    Thanks for the tips.

    Jakub

    No, you can not install XP on a virtual machine with the CD restore provided with your device. You will need a regular XP installation cd and a number of key valid. It has to do with the fact that the restore cd should see a BIOS generic virtual machine rather than the true BIOS Lenovo and refuse to install.

  • Hyper-V and Virtual Desktops

    I wish to run five or six virtual desktops, at the start of Windows 7 and maybe later Windows 8 or 10 Windows...

    What are the specifications of the reasonable system for the server to do this?  I wish I could run Office, the surface web, play streaming video.  Any suggestions?

    EGH

    3-5 virtual machines running always more for testing and support than actual use, that's why I awarded only 2 GB of RAM each.  One machine is widely used for rendering and media and has much more ram.

    You don't you the same performance in a VM that material not appropriate for games so real because of the overload.  There is latency inherent (but not bad)

    Still not sure how you would run them out of one 'server' and access it from the other 2 i3 except by a few RTD/Team viewer and which would add another layer of network latency.
