Windows 7 & XP?
Discussion
Hi folks, I have windows 7 64bit running on my laptop but have bought some software that can not run on 64bit systems. I have a PC running XP upstairs & the originally bought XP disc. I've read that if I do a dual boot that the older version operating system needs loading first so that is not really possible on my lappy.
Can I load the XP onto a separate hard drive using the XP machine upstairs & then boot it on my windows 7 laptop?

A virtual machine will do the job. Install this:

Then install Windows XP in the virtual machine.
