A new tutorial titled How to install and use Windows XP Mode was added by Lawrence Abrams. Please use this topic to discuss any aspect of this tutorial.
A brief excerpt of the tutorial can be found here:
Windows Virtual PC is a downloadable add-on to Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate,
or Enterprise that allows you to run a Windows XP environments from within Windows
7. Windows XP Mode, which requires Windows Virtual PC, is a prepackaged fully
activated copy of Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3 installed. With
both of these programs installed, you can then run Windows XP in Windows 7 so
that you can continue to use programs that were developed for Windows XP but
no longer run in Windows 7.
We hope you find this tutorial helpful.
