Windows XP Mode (under Win 7)?

Postby Antony » Sun 12 Jun, 2011 1:55 am

Sorry guys, I have some questions.

How do I get Windows XP Mode (or something like that) under Windows 7?
I remember it was part of the feature of Windows 7 Professional (and the reason I bought he Professional version), and I can't seem to find it anywhere in Windows 7.

Also, is the Windows Virtual PC included, or I need to download it?

Yes, you need to download Virtual PC and Windows XP mode from here.

Thank you.

Do I need Windows Virtual PC to run Windows XP Mode?

It's been a while since I played around with the XP mode, but yes, I believe you do do need VPC to use XP Mode.
