Windows XP to Windows 7 Mode

Windows 7 brings a very easy option to install a Windows XP virtual machine. Eecutar serve to old programs that do not work with Windows 7. The funny thing is that once installed, programs that install inside the XP virtual machine will appear in the start menu Win 7 and the windows can be run on the Windows desktop 7 as if it were installed.
Requirements: Windows 7 Ultimate, Professional or Enterprise
I think that also need to have a microprocessor capable of virtualization "? But just make you run a small program to check this

You have to enter http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/download.aspx and follow the steps that explain why

Here I translated the page to not have problems

Step 1: I need Windows XP Mode?
Windows 7 has included several tools to help with application compatibility and Windows XP applications sirectamente should be installed in Windows 7. Windows XP runs some older models productive applications may not run on Windows 7.

Step2: Can my PC running Windows XP Mode?
Check your PC hardware running Windows XP Mode and running down this tool (Click on "tool" in the Microsoft page I put up)

Step 3: Choose your edition of Windows 7 and the desired lenguje installation in step 3. (Do it from the Microsoft website I put above)

Step 4: Download and install Windows XP Mode
Windows XP Mode requires that you download and install both files listed below. (Notice that must be installed in the order it says here, first the left and once that was installed to install the other.)

Once I downloaded the two files installed first and then the heavier light. This second file is an update that needed to run the virtual machine and need to restart the computer, so I did. when you start Windows 7 again took a while to install the update. Then I searched the Windows XP Start Menu Mode, you clicked and only then install the virtual machine. One can see that Virtual PC is already a pretty basic.

Here are some catches






In the next image fijense I installed Winzip. There appears in the list of programs. In Windows 7 I have not installed Winzip, WinRar only




The following image shows the WinZip fijense what is actually installed on WinXP, not Win7




With the virtual machine is closed, if I click on start menu WinZip Win7 opens in WinZip, but like I was in Win7! Is also only open the language bar that appears above and accidentally opened the warning that I have XP antivirus



To differentiate the XP windows display the top bar like in XP

That's it. I hope they work ..
I did not have any objection to it ..
Just comment if something happens and see how you fix it
