Can I create and boot from a Windows 7 Home Premium VHD?
Hello,
I know that I am probably beating a dead horse, but I have to ask; I am running Windows 7 Home Premium x64 and I wish to create and boot from a VHD file as outlined in How to Create a Windows 7 VHD at Boot to Start...
Unfortunately it comes with the following warning:
You must have either Windows 7 Ultimate, Windows 7 Enterprise, Windows 8 Pro, or Windows 8 Enterprise installed on the VHD to be able to boot from the VHD natively.
Does this mean that I am out of luck. I have poked around and cannot seem to find an answer. Perhaps I am asking the wrong questions.
Also, if I am able to do this, can I use Windows Update, must I activate it, and can I install more software into it? If you have not guessed by now, I am in new territory here.
Thank you...
