| | Nesting Virtual Operating Systems I have a 64 bit version of windows 7 that has the Window XP mode bonus virtual guest OS. So my question is should i nest a virtual OS inside windows XP mode if i want to install MS-Dos a 16 bit operating system or can windows 7 host a 16 bit guest OS |

| | If your goal is to run MS-DOS then it might be easier to just use DOSBox instead of XP mode altogether. That said, XP still has decent 16-bit support of its own if you just want to run 16-bit applications. I think it's possible to install any OS you want inside the virtual machine, but I'm not positive on this. |

| | Yes, you can run DOS in a virtual machine. You don't need to nest it. |
