The least Microsoft could have done was to provide consumers with Windows XP Mode to make the transition smoother.
#WINDOWS XP MODE UPGRADE#
It is bad enough that there is no seamless upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7.
Millions of consumers still rely on Windows XP and Microsoft is banking on them making the switch to Windows 7. Not to beat a dead horse, but it is very unfortunate that Microsoft did not include Windows XP Mode as an option for Windows Home Premium. If you have legacy peripherals that won’t work natively in Windows 7, don’t let that stop you from taking advantage of the many improvements in Windows 7. I found installing and working with the Windows XP Mode to be significantly easier and more satisfying than any other virtual computing environment I have used. I like Windows Virtual PC, but you can definitely tell that you are taxing the system resources and things can get sluggish. I frequently use Windows Virtual PC to be able to install and work with alternate operating system platforms. If that is the case, you will have to buy a new system rather than simply upgrading, but you can still use Windows XP Mode to connect older peripherals.Īssuming you meet all of the requirements and get Windows XP Mode installed, I believe you will be impressed. If you are still running Windows XP and using legacy hardware devices, odds are fair that you are also using older computer hardware that won’t have the required technology to use Windows XP Mode. What makes this a particularly sticky catch is that it sort of contradicts the purpose of Windows XP Mode.
#WINDOWS XP MODE WINDOWS 7#
The computer hardware that you install Windows 7 and Windows XP Mode on must support hardware-assisted virtualization.
Even though Windows Home Premium users can not use Windows XP Mode, you can still use Windows Virtual PC to create your own virtual computer environments.
The core components required for Windows XP Mode are built in to the operating system, but you have to download Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode separately.
