westone8 Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 I currently have WIndows 7 Home Edition and would like to have XP as well. Should I upgrade to windows 7Pro which allows me to run virtual windows XP within Windows 7 or should I partition and install windows XP on a separate volume?

MANEMAN Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 You could even keep your existing Windows 7 system and install XP using "Virtual Box"The use of an operating system used "as is" or in a virtual situation is purely a matter of personal choice. You have to weigh up the pros and cons and go for your gut feeling.Using a freebie like Virtual Box gives you a way to have both virtual and actual running if you partition the drive as you say though.https://www.virtualbox.org/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
