Questions on Windows XP Mode in Win 7

[attyallanlatras]

I have a genuine Win 7 64-bit Home Premium and I want to try Windows XP mode, but I cannot locate it in my OS, so questions ko are:

1. Is this windows xp mode already incorporated sa OS, or kailangan ko pa ma-download ito from Microsoft site?

2. Available feature ba to sa Win 7 64-bit Home Premium ko or kailangan higher version ng win 7 such as Ultimate?

3. Since my win7 is 64-bit, will the windows xp mode be in 64-bit also or pwede 32-bit?

TIA...ang mga tanong ko ay dahil sa compatibility issues ng software ko with 64-bit win7

Dunno bout a full XP mode, but you can run programs in Windows XP emulation (if they're not built for Vista or 7) by right clicking on the program icon and changing its properties to run it in compatibility mode.

1. Download it from Microsoft . Around 5xx MB + other components to download and install.

2. According to this document. It only works for Windows 7 Ultimate, Professional and Enterprise.

It's not available for Home Premium whether it's 32-bit or 64-bit. You'll have to settle for Compatibility Mode or run an emulator/virtualization program. MS Virtual PC is a free download. Me? I prefer Sun VirtualBox which is also free and used the host video card for 3d-acceleration:

VirtualBox has experimental 3d for games. IL-2 runs just fine in XP Home within VirtualBox. It won't even install in Windows 7 64-bit:
