How to: Install WinXP on a Virtual Machine

Microsoft Virtual PC is a virtualization suite for Microsoft Windows operating systems, and an emulation suite for Mac OS X on PowerPC-based systems. The software was originally written by Connectix, and was subsequently acquired by Microsoft. In July 2006 Microsoft released the Windows-hosted version as a free product. In August 2006 Microsoft announced the Macintosh-hosted version would not be ported to Intel-based Macintoshes, effectively discontinuing the product as PowerPC-based Macintoshes are no longer manufactured.

Virtual PC virtualizes a standard PC and its associated hardware. Supported Windows operating systems can run inside Virtual PC, however other operating systems like Linux may run, but are not officially supported (for example, Ubuntu, the most popular Linux distribution, can only get past the boot screen of the Live CD when using Safe Graphics Mode).

@MrKadok12 yes you go to the windows website (windows(dot)com) then click downloads on the top part of the screen by the search button. then click windows 7. scroll down till you see Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC then click it. After that you click the orange box that says get windows XP mode and windows virtual pc now. After that a screen will pop up and you have to say what windows 7 your running. You must download windows virtual pc first then click download on the windows xp mode
