    That kinda sucks. I was planning on creating my first metro but I guess my os limits me. are there any third party programs out there that would let me boot my OS to a VHD?

    or are there anyway that I can use the VHD as my os for the meantime? or select it on Windows 7?

    Sorry, i can't help any further.
    I just gave you what i know with my limited experience with this.

    I don't have your hardware or OS version.

    I just boot Win 7 normally, and then run VMware and start a Win 8 VM OS running as a client OS under the Win 7 Host.

    Don't take what i say as the "know all" answer, i'm no expert.
    I'm just learning VM and Win 8 as we speak...
    Others here may have better answers for you to solve your issue, and post a reply.

    At Everyone but I've head some tutorial that you can't do a VHD boot in windows 7 home premium?
    You cant install Windows 7 Home Premium to a VHD and boot from that VHD. However, if you have Win 7 HP as your OS in a regular install, you can still take advantage of booting from a VHD onto which Win 7 Ultimate, Win Server 2008 R2, or Win 8 is installed.
