Only Professional and higher have access to XP Mode, but you can still install VirtualPC in the home versions.
Is this what you are looking for?
Is there someway i could get it without having to buy a Windows XP cd?
Virtual PC itself will work, but not XP Mode, unless you supply your own CD. From there, just install the Integration Features.
Why If you want XP, Downgrade? Just use any Windows XP Home edition CD as it's the only one can be downgraded for Home Premium then phone Microsoft, Give them your 7 Home premium Product key. Where is yours? It should be on the packet of 7 home premium and be like this XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX and they will give you one for XP. Borrow a mates CD if you have to. and just install the cd and don't use thier product key. Only the one microsoft gives you.
The truth is you cannot get an XP license in exchange for a Windows 7 license.
He will need to either buy a copy of XP off of eBay or Newegg or someplace, or buy Windows 7 Professional and get access to a free virtual XP machine.
Sorry you are wrong!!!! I was a bit confused you can get Windows 7 Professional or ultimate and downgrade to Windows XP Professional. see this YouTube - Windows 7 Downgrade Tutorial Linus Tech Tips This also works with Enterprise aswell. It can also be done with Windows 7 Home premium to Windows XP Home Edition Only. I have done it at work and at home. bit more of a problem though Microsoft, They say it can't be done but with a bit of a struggle it can be done.
