Good luck to you! You don't need HAV (Hardware Assisted Virtualization) to run XP Mode.
Windows XP Mode continues to use hardware virtualization such as Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel® VT) or the AMD-V™ chipset when available but it no longer requires them. Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode no longer require HAV processors - Windows Virtual PC - Site Home - TechNet Blogs | | My System Specs | | Computer type Laptop
