I haven’t done this yet, but I might give it a go later and attempt to get Ubuntu running (something which was notoriously difficult under VPC 2007 so hopefully the process is a bit smoother now).Īnyway, it’s nice that Microsoft have made this tool available for free, which is very useful for software testing, and even better that its usable on Win 7 Home Premium, without having to upgrade to Professional. Windows Virtual PC adds a Virtual Machines folder under your user account from which you can set up a new virtual machine if you require.

This went smoothly, although my virtualized XP did attempt and fail to install new device drivers when it booted up. The final step was to load up one of the old Virtual PC 2007 vmc files I had lying around.
I have a Dell laptop, and it was a matter of hitting F12 on bootup and searching around for the option in the BIOS settings. Once installed you may, like me, run into the issue that hardware assisted virtualization is not enabled in your BIOS. You only need to download the Virtual PC part, which arrives as the rather cryptically named. However, if you head over to the Windows Virtual PC website, and say that you have Windows 7 Professional, it enables the downloads of Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC. Microsoft have replaced Virtual PC 2007 with “Windows Virtual PC”, but theoretically it is only supported with Windows 7 Professional and above.
