It looks like you're trying to use software that interfaces with scientific instruments. It fully supports 64-bit Windows 7 guests, as long as the host is 64-bit and the CPU supports hardware virtualization. The best option is to use VirtualBox, which is free to download and use, even for commercial purposes. That being said, VirtualPC is the wrong choice here due to its lack of support for 64-bit. There is no issue with running a second copy of the same OS in a VM, nor is there a problem with dual-booting between two copies of the same OS installed in different partitions on a physical host. The VMware article you linked refers to bouncing the same instance of an operating system between a VM and a physical host. Is it possible for me to use any other Windows 7 version (like Windows 7 Ultimate)? I really want to make sure I am making the right choice.

I am stuck and I have no knowledge background of working with OS and there is no option for me to upgrade to a later Windows version for now.

I cannot go lower than Windows 7, because I want to install LabVIEW on the Virtual PC and it does not have a support by lower versions (I have LabVIEW 2019 - ). I read that there is a danger to use the same operating system for both PCs ( ), but, because it was not clearly sad it is for all the cases, I tried and it was offering me something in the lines of burning the previous ISO, what I strictly do not want.

I made my virtual PC and I wanted to install Windows 7 Professional (32-bit, because I read you cannot install 64-bit on Windows Virtual PC) by using ISO file.

Finally, you’ll need to keep in mind that a full OS needs to boot before a virtual app can be run, so a little patience will be needed on that first launch.ĭespite its few limitations, IT admins will find that XP Mode provides a viable means of coping with legacy applications while fully modernizing the desktop environment.I have Windows 7 Professional (64-bit) and Windows Virtual PC (version 6.1). It’s also important to note that virtual applications and Desktop Mode cannot be used simultaneously. Their Windows needed to be manually resized. Also, virtual apps don’t want to play along with the Windows 7 Snap feature. In multi-monitor setups, the virtual application only lives on the primary monitor. Seamless Mode isn’t completely seamless there are couple issues with it. XP Mode lets you do things like run different versions of Internet Explorer on one PC. If the app you want to virtualize doesn’t automatically create a Start menu shortcut, or the app is already included with Windows (Internet Explorer 6.0 for example), you simply need to create a shortcut for it in Desktop Mode under c:documents and settingsall usersstart menu and the app will appear on the host start menu under Windows XP Mode Applications. If you don’t find the default start menu location to be convenient, you can move the shortcut to any location a traditional shortcut can be placed. Apps run this way are called virtual applications. When the app is launched from the host OS, XP launches in the background and the app appears as if it were running natively in Windows 7. The app you just installed can then be found on the host PC’s Start menu under All Programs, Windows Virtual PC, Windows XP Mode Applications. To use Seamless Mode, you first install an app under Desktop Mode, then log out of and close the virtual machine. XP Mode apps can be launched from the Start menu in Seamless mode.Where XP Mode really shines is with Seamless Mode, which lets you launch XP apps straight from your Windows 7 menus.

Also, you have access to the complete host file system while in Desktop Mode. Also, while you don’t have drag and drop capability between the operating systems, they do share a clipboard. It’s important to note that by default, shortcut keystrokes are only passed to XP in Desktop Mode when it’s running in full-screen. Desktop Mode is useful when you want to use a completely separate desktop environment from your Windows 7 base install. Here, you have access to the full XP environment. When installation is complete XP Mode will launch in Desktop Mode. After all this information is gathered, Windows will finalize installation of XP Mode. Finally you’ll need to decide whether or not you want automatic updates.

When XP Mode setup launches and you’ll need to supply a password for the local XP Mode user that XP Mode automatically creates on the virtual machine. Both installations are straightforward and the default settings will suffice for most situations.
