VM software is also useful for IT support departments. VM software lets you consolidate most of your testing systems onto one or two physical systems that run guest VMs for each test platform. That LAN might use a couple of test servers for domain controllers (DCs) and additional systems for each OS used in the organization. In the past, creating a test environment might have required IT to dedicate a small fleet of PCs on an isolated LAN for application testing. Another use for VM software is to create test deployment environments. Today's PCs have the processing power required to run VM software, which lets you configure one computer to run multiple OSs.Ĭompanies can use VM software to adopt new OSs (e.g., Windows XP) while continuing to run vital legacy applications that rely on earlier OSs (e.g., DOS, Windows 9x) on the same hardware.
If your PC doesn’t already have it installed, download and install 7-Zip before you proceed.This XP installer is only supported by Windows 7, so we’ll need to extract the files you’ll need from it to get XP to run on Windows 10.
If the file is no longer hosted on Microsoft, you can download it from CNET. If your PC is ready, download the Windows XP Mode EXE file from the Microsoft website (named WindowsXPMode_en-us.exe).The operating system you use will also need to be supported by VirtualBox, the software we’ll be using to run Windows XP. You can use another operating system, but these instructions have been designed with Windows 10 in mind. To begin using your Windows XP virtual machine, you’ll need to use a PC running Windows 10, with virtualization enabled in the BIOS or UEFI settings.
