VPC 2007 on Windows 7

[FN-GM]

Hi,

 

Is it possible to install Virtual PC 2007 on Windows 7?

 

The reason i ask is because i want to run a few virtual machines, looks like you cant do that in Windows XP Mode.

 

Thanks

I don't think that you can do that but if you have virtualisation support in the CPU you can use Virtual PC for Windows 7

 

edit: Sorry bit confused now, if you install Windows XP mode and Virtual PC from link above you certainly can run VMs.

Hmm I have an entry in the start menu for VirtualPC that has a subitem for managing VMs.

Try looking for a %systemdrive%\users\\Virtual Machines folder (the menu item is just a link to this folder as VMs are managed from that folder).

yes it does work but now that the virtualization cpu bit is no longer required yo can run the ms windows 7 specific solution

This is what i get i cannot find how to make a new one.

 

Is it me just being daft?

ive never created a new hard drive at least all i use it for is a vm for staff to run the terrible abacus evolve so i just have a vhd file for that on an external drive. Butcreating a new pc seems ok but its been a while

Hmm no not daft, it should look like this:

 

Something has gone wrong here. I will have a think.

Hang on you are sure you installed XP mode and then Virtual PC, they are two separate downloads?
