Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

Install and use Windows XP Mode in Windows 7

We recommend that you only use Windows XP Mode if your PC is disconnected from the Internet.

Using Windows XP Mode, you can run programs that were designed for Windows XP on computers running Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate editions. Windows XP Mode isn't supported on Windows 8.

Windows XP Mode was primarily designed to help businesses move from Windows XP to Windows 7. It isn't optimized for graphic-intensive programs such as 3D games, nor is it well suited for programs with hardware requirements such as TV tuners.


  1. Find out whether your computer's CPU is capable of hardware-assisted virtualization. To check, download and run the Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool.
    • If you receive the message “This computer is configured with hardware-assisted virtualization,” you can run Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode. See the instructions below.
    • If you receive the error message "There is no hardware-assisted virtualization support in the system," your computer's CPU doesn't support hardware-assisted virtualization. You can still use Windows XP Mode by installing an update to Windows 7. See Why am I receiving errors about hardware-assisted virtualization (HAV) when I try to use Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC?. Be aware that XP Mode will run much better if hardware-assisted virtualization can be enabled.
    • If you receive an error message saying "Hardware-assisted virtualization is disabled," this means your computer supports hardware-assisted virtualization, but you need to change settings in your computer's basic input/output system (BIOS) to turn on hardware-assisted virtualization. Procedures to turn on virtualization settings in your computer's BIOS vary depending on the BIOS manufacturer. Check the information that came with your computer or go to the computer manufacturer's website.

Is it a good idea to have two operating systems?

Is it a good idea to have two operating systems?

 Unless you know a lot about about the linux command line, I
wouldn't recommend switching to linux. And just because of the
windows xp "apocalypse" (lol), windows xp
won't suddenly become unsafe. If you have antivirus software,
it will continue to function normally
. That being said, if you rely on Microsoft providing support, or want a more secure os, why not just upgrade to windows 7 or 8 i'm pretty sure most, if not all xp
software will work with both of them. As for dual booting making your computer safer.... Um, i don't think it works like that. Whenyou run xp, it will still be as secure as xp. If you only want a more secure os, get some decent antivirus software. Otherwise, I'd
recommend getting windows 7 or 8
.

Depending on what exactly you rely upon, you may just be able to install windows xp on a virtual machine within a *nix. The advantage of this is you can take a snapshot of a clean system, and restore to it everytime you boot. Of course anything you want to save from session to session, you'd need to keep on a separate hard drive image.

Any switching OS takes time and there's a learning curve. Having extra hardware to test and figure things out while keeping you main machine working on the OS you are used to is highly recommended.

Installing Ubuntu





Notes

This tutorial goes over the option of installing a traditional
dual-boot. If there is any chance you might want to remove Ubuntu and
return to Windows exclusively, do not set up a traditional dual-boot.
Instead, I would recommend you start migrating to open source Windows applications in Windows, playing around with Ubuntu virtually inside Windows, and then use a dual-boot between Ubuntu and Windows.

If you are using Mac OS X, the community documentation may help you out here.



This tutorial features screenshots from Ubuntu 12.04 (Precise Pangolin).
The screenshots may be different, but the installation process is
similar in older versions of Ubuntu. For Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal),
the screenshots are almost exactly the same as 12.04, except there are
no graphical icons for Installation Type screen.




Installing Ubuntu

Now that you have the Desktop CD, you'll need to reboot your computer to use Ubuntu.
Your computer's BIOS must be set to boot from CD first; otherwise,
Windows will just load up again. To get into the BIOS settings, you
usually have to press one of these keys during boot-up: Escape, F1, F2,
F12, or Delete. Usually your computer will tell you which key to use.
