Note: The fact that the new version of Virtual PC can still only run x86 guest VMs is a pitty. Since each VM runs its own operating system, users can install and run most x86 operating systems. Because each virtual machine acts like a standalone computer, each VM can has its own sound card, video, hard disk(s), network card(s) and its own processor. Users can switch operating systems as easily as they switch applications instantly, with a mouse click. Microsoft Virtual PC for Windows 7 allows users to conveniently run multiple operating systems on a single computer. Note: All screenshots and procedures are based on the RC version of Windows Virtual PC. To find out if your PC is virtualization capable, please visit the Windows Virtual PC support page: Important: To run Windows Virtual PC (and with it, XPM), your computer has to have the Intel VT or AMD-V features enabled in the BIOS.
While you can utilize it to boot the default and pre-configured Windows XP virtual machine that can be downloaded from Microsoft’s website (see my article on how to install Windows XP Mode on Windows 7), Virtual PC can also be used to create, configure and boot your own set of virtual machines. In on previous article (“ Install Virtual PC on Windows 7“) I walked you through the features of the new Windows Virtual PC software that is specially designed for Windows 7.
