Windows XP mode 7: Possible in operating system called?

I would like to use Workstation 6.5 to test the new feature "XP Mode" in the Windows 7 RC 7100, which just launched, but since the feature requires support for hardware virtualization, it seems that it is not possible from the prompt that OS doesn't seem to be able to 'see' this feature of the CPU directly.

Anyone know if there is a way to make this work?

That won't be possible, just as you can't run hyper-V in a virtual machine, it has to do with the OS who need access to the VT instructions which are not presented to the virtual machine.

  • Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating systems disks

    I bought my laptop with Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium installed on it.  I've since upgraded to Windows 7.  Unfortunately, there are a few programs that will not work under Windows 7 little matter what I do.

    So, I would try to run a virtual Windows Vista system.  The problem is that I can't find my disk with the operating system of Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium on it.

    Download the Windows Vista 64-bit Home Premium operating system so that I can burn a disc for a back-up or I can order a drive with the OS on it?

    Thank you!

    You can not upgrade to Windows 7, and then use the Vista OS you used as part of the upgrade to install another (even virtual).

    There is no Vista free download legal available.

    And Microsoft provide no DVD for computers of the brand OEM (Dell, HP, etc).

    Borrow a good Microsoft Vista DVD (not Dell, HP, etc).
    A good Vista DVD contains all versions of Vista.
    The product key determines which version of Vista is installed.

    There are 2 disks of Vista: one for 32-bit operating system, and one for 64-bit operating system.

  • Free virtualization software takes supported Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system?

    People,

    Hello. I need to install the Windows 7 host virtualization software, and then install Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system.

    VMware Workstation supports Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as a guest operating system, but it's not free download.

    People know that supports virtualization software free Windows 7 as operating system host and Windows Server 2003 as the operating system invited?

    Thanks in advance.

    As I said in your previous post, VMWare Player is a free download and does not support Win7 as host and Win2k3 as a guest.  VMWare Player is also included with VMWare Workstation, you can imply that most of the time something that supports VMWare Workstation as a guest operating system is also a guests supported for the reader.

    And unlike previous versions, player 3 includes the ability to create virtual machines base.  For many people, especially those who are starting just in virtualization, player is sufficient.

    VMWare Workstation, although not free, can be installed as a 30 day trial.  After the trial, you can not start your virtual machines in my computer, but because the player is included in the installation, you can still run your virtual machines in the drive without having to uninstall anything.  So just install Workstation.  After the trial expires, if you wish that the advanced features of the workstation, then buy it.  If not, just continue to use the drive.

  • Is it possible to install multiple copies of Windows 7 in Virtualbox as guest operating system

    Hello

    My laptop runs on Linux OS, I installed VirtualBox. Now, I would like to install multiple copies of Windows 7 on VirtualBox as a guest operating system.

    Is this possible?

    My activation will expire after 3 installations?

    What are the limits in this situation?

    Microsoft treats several facilities in VirtualBox (as guest operating system) as a single installation instance? I think that the hardware (motherboard) is used as a fingerprint to detect changes in the systems, but as the material is going to be the same custom installation will be treated as a single instance?

    Help, please...

    Thank you

  • Windows could not start. Unknown operating system.

    Problem started with the car light, computer freezing for several minutes.

    Then 0xc00000e9

    Then 0xc0150002

    Then, BSD, failure code.

    I have a disc of 750 wdc with 2 partitions.  The one with most of my data is very good (and now backed up) but the one with the win 7 is not accessible.

    I tried Paragon Rescue kit 10.0 hoping to repair the startup files or at least to transfer files and then start from scratch.

    He cannot find an operating system.

    By looking at the boot record, the name of the drive reads "*:" and the NTFS version is "0.0" but the used and free space is correct.

    I don't know much, but it seems that my files may be there if the damaged files can be repaired.

    Of course, the repair Windows startup disk and recovery system has not worked.

    Should I give up hope or is it possible?

    Hello:

    HP only offers support and drivers for W8 on their consumption of the PC.

    Visitors eager to support for other windows operating systems must buy a class business PC.

    While there is no guarantee, you should be able to install W7 x 64 on your laptop.

    I recommend that you first do your set of recovery discs before attempting to install another operating system on your laptop as once you traffic W8, the recovery partition probably will no longer work.

    You will need to go into the BIOS and enable the legacy mode and disable secure boot.

    So if you can get W7 to install, all x64drivers W7 and model this linked software should also work on your.

    DO NOT USE ANY BIOS OR FIRMWARE FILES.

  • How do I upgrade to Windows 7 Pro without reinstalling the operating system?

    I have a client who is moving from a workgroup to a domain based network.  About half of the computers are Windows 7 Home edition.  I need to upgrade to Pro so I can join the domain.  I was not able to find an easy way to do it since Anytime Upgrade no longer works on Windows 7.  The only time I did, I had to by a free license key and ended up having to completely reinstall the operating system.  So, how can I switch to Win 7 Pro without reinstallation of the operating system or go to Windows 8.

    Unfortunately, your only option now would be to buy a full version or upgrade to Windows 7 professional retail license and use the product key with the Express Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Wizard. It is, it's expensive:

    Full version-

    Microsoft Windows 7 Professional

First of all, check that the edition of Windows 7, you are upgrading is already enabled (if it isn't, you will encounter complications and that you might start all by performing a clean installation). Click Start, type Anytime Upgrade, click on the option enter a key, enter the key of Windows 7 Professional on demand, click Next, wait while checking the key, accept the license agreement, click on upgrade, wait while the software upgrades, (it may take 10 minutes or more depending on the if updates are required) your computer restarts automatically, after the reboot, Windows 7 will notify you updating the computer, the computer will restart once more automatically and will be completed the upgrade, a window will appear notifying the upgrade was successful and your computer is ready to use, click Close, you should be upgraded to Windows 7 Professional your files, programs and settings retained.
