Yesterday, I posted a thread about a dual-boot configuration of Windows XP and Windows 7. Today, it's a video on running Windows XP in Windows 7 through "XP Mode".

I think I’ll run XP mode in XP instead.

What I don’t understand is why they didn’t build into the install to “move” your previous XP install into the “XP mode”, that would be such an easy upgrade for the users. Oh well, if they did all the stuff with software they should we geeks wouldn’t be able to show off.

Thanks for putting these threads up lately....I'm scrambling to learn what I can (I'm as low tech capable as you could imagine) because this almost 10 year old PC is on it's last legs, and I'm excited to give Windows 7 a try on a new machine.

Gulp - I'm terrified; need to find teenage geek kid.

Here's another TechRepublic link on how to Plan and execute a smooth Windows 7 upgrade with the help of this flowchart. Additional links on Windows 7 articles are provided below the article.

I’ll be waiting to hear if this works like it should. I have a MacBookPro with parallels and it’s important for my embroidery software to be able to run and be able to communicate with the embroidery machine. If it runs good I’ll make sure to update Parallels and buy 7 to load onto it, if not I’ll stay with what I have now.

I installed XP mode earlier this week on my W7 Ultimate x64. It works. It doesn’t have video acceleration and I’m having some trouble with some device drivers. I’ll give it a full go this weekend.

Per some version comparison charts, the XP Mode is NOT available in the Home edition of Win7.
