    Windows Server 2008 VHD


    Hello,
    Is it possible to boot into a Win 2008 Server VHD from Windows 7?

    I think this is an ideal scenario for developers..Can i simply use a Win 2008 Server VHD that someone else has created?

    How will this work? Thanks

    Windows 2008 R2 should boot from VHD file, you do same as you install Windows 7 to a VHD. 2008R2 and Windows 7 use exactly the same kernel.

    You better use a VHD created on similar hardware, otherwise it may not boot
