HOW TO INSTALL VIRTUAL PC IN WIN 7 HOME PREMIUM

Hi..... Are you wondering how to install virtual pc in windows 7 home premium edition?

Are you tired of searching about how to install a virtual pc with xp compatibility in windows 7 home premium edition...................Don't worry, here is a way of installing the virtual pc with xp compatibility in windows 7 home premium edition.


steps:

1) Do not try to download and install the

"Windows Virtual PC"

as this is not supported in windows 7 home premium edition. (I think you will not be able to even download it from Microsoft site, when trying to download it from a system with operating system as Microsoft windows 7 home premium edition).

2) Download the "MICROSOFT VIRTUAL PC", as this is supported in windows 7 home premium.
Download link for MICROSOFT VIRTUAL PC "http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/02/21/free-download-microsoft-virtual-pc-2007-with-support-for-windows-vista-as-guest-os/"

Here you can find the versions for 32-bit and 64-bit.

3) Now install this and configure a new virtual PC XP any other os (a list is shown in the dropdown ).

4) After configuring the settings, start the virtual PC then when it will ask for the boot-able disc then insert the disc and then go to the option CD then go for "USE PHYSICAL DRIVE".

5) Now you will be guided through the installation process.

6)And finally you are done with your windows virtual pc with the XP mode or xp compatibility.

NOTE: At the time you are making the configurations for the virtual pc, you will be specifying the ram to be used, this can be changed later also.
