Using Windows® XP Mode on your Windows® 7 computer (available on certain
models)
Your computer supports virtualization technology that enables you to run Windows
XP-compatible applications on your Windows 7 computer. This gives you the
flexibility to continue using legacy applications while still benefiting from Windows
7 improvements.
Virtual Windows XP Mode is supported only on systems running Windows 7
Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate.
To take advantage of virtual Windows XP Mode, you may need to enable the
Virtualization Technology setting in your computer's BIOS (Basic Input/Output
System). To check this setting and enable it if necessary, do the following:
1. Start or restart your computer while pressing the F2 key. The BIOS settings
screen displays.
2. Open the Advanced menu.
3. Set "Virtualization Technology" to Enable.
4. Restart the computer.
Some models are equipped with a "Virtualization Technology".
For more information on running Windows XP Mode on your Windows 7 system,
please visit Microsoft's Web site at www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc.
