Solved windows virtual pc without xp mode

[t-4-2]

Without xp mode, what WVPC can do ?

Thank You.

P.S. ( I know XP Mode is not available for Home Premium ).

Hello t-4-2,

XP Mode is just a ready made XP virtual machine for Windows Virtual PC. You would still also be able to create your own virtual machine in Windows Virtual PC to run in Windows 7 like you would with any other VM program like Virtualbox or VMWare Player. You could then install the integration features in the virtual machine to be able to share files between the virtual machine and Windows 7.


Hope this helps,
Shawn

Thank you.

Right now I am using your tutorial :
VMware Player - Install Windows 8 Consumer Preview - Windows 8 Forums

Downloading Win 8 32-bit Preview to desktop.... as your tutorial instructed... step #1.
Next will be the VMware Player install.
If I run into road blocks, I'll come back to haunt you.

If it's any help to you, I have installed Windows Vista under Virtual PC and it works fine.

adding....
question : Do I have to install Workstation 8 , just VMware Player will do ?

 

[Brink]

No. You would only need to install VMware Player.

Sorry to bug you....
Do I need to create a folder for the Windows 8 iso which is now being downloaded on the desktop ?

 

[Brink]

Na, after the ISO is finished downloading, you would just save it to were you would like to keep it at. When you are setting up Vmware Player, you would just browse to and select the ISO from where you saved it at.

But I only downloaded the 32-bit Win 8 iso.
The guest OS is to be 32-bit.

By the way, my computer will not accept 64-bit guest anyway......

 

[t-4-2]

Updating..................

Long story short.

Win 8 Preview 32-bit is successfully installed in VMware. It is up and running.

Just one catch..... I have no idea what do I do with it.

That's great news t-4-2.

It allows you to run Windows 8 in a window in Windows 7, so I suppose that you could have fun running it to get to know Windows 8 better without leaving Windows 7.
