I
am on Windows XP Pro and am very used to it, but I want to upgrade to
7. I understand that 7 has a “XP mode”, so if I upgrade how do I put it
into “XP Mode” – and which version do I need to have?
Windows XP
mode is a feature of Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate
Edition, and allows a virtual instance of Windows XP to be opened inside
of Windows 7 to run programs that are not naively compatible with
Windows 7.
What XP mode does not
do is change your Windows 7 interface to look like Windows XP. Windows 7
will still be there; you’ll just have the ability to open a Windows XP
program which will contain a virtual copy of Windows XP. This is really
good if you’ve tried to install software made for Windows XP that will
not run in windows 7, but is not intended to be used if the program runs
in Windows 7.
You can download and get more information about Windows XP Mode from Microsoft by clicking here.
