Thread: Windows XP installing on Windows 7.

Hello,I retributory got a new laptop with windows 7 and of bed sympathy issues with many of my older games. I was wondering if it would be gettable to pose windows XP onto a divide with the effort discs that came with my old laptop? Or on a external hard drive?

Hey,That would be unlawful unless you use the key from your old laptop and no long use your old laptop.

Depending on your edition of Win 7, you mightiness hold a disentangled deciding to position xp-mode, which is an XP pro functional in a virtual machine.The Win 7 simple variation know it included as an option - no other criminate.If you are squirting some of the another win 7 versions, you might have to pay for an XP pro pass, unless you have one that you are not using somewhere added.Anyway, if you know ample RAM (4+ GB), I conceive it is a alter alternative, compared to instalment XP and two boot .

I have proven out the XP norm on my Lenovo (2Ghz threefold nucleus with 4Gig of pc 6200 ram) and launch it to be really decrease. I screw set up a multiple boot and XP activity far far ameliorate suchlike that. For duple booting, you leave need easybcd to sort the reboot agenda out.

Thanks!
