Can I still use windows XP after the service is stopped (XP compatibility Mode) to solve this problem?

The hottest topic in the year is the recent termination of XP services in addition to the Network Finance "yu'e Bao! Can XP be used after the service is stopped? What should I do if the XP service is stopped? Which version of the operating system do I want to change? Win7 or Win8? More users prefer to wait until the Windows 9 to be released, and do not want to give up XP...

When XP stops service, if it is connected to the Internet, it will be more vulnerable to viruses or unknown vulnerabilities, and the security will be greatly reduced! Many of my friends are worried about two major issues: software compatibility and operational habits. I am afraid that I will change the new operating system, not adapt to the new operation interface, and cannot find the "familiar" menu options. I am afraid that the new system will have some bugs in software compatibility.

Today, we are all concerned about this. In fact, when Windows 7 appeared, there were similar products to help you solve this problem. Its name is XP Mode or XP compatibility Mode! This mode is specifically designed to solve the incompatibility of some applications in Windows 7. Through it, these applications may run in XP compatibility mode, similar to a virtual machine system. We only need to install it on the new system to call all the software running in the new system of the local machine.

So, how can we install and run this XP Mode !?

This XP Mode is a special feature attached to Windows 7. First, determine whether your CPU supports virtualization technology!

Whether the CPU supports virtualization technology. Here we need a small software: SecurAble. He can help us test whether the CPU supports virtualization. Run a single file to check the effect:

The above results are clear at a glance, right? NO is not supported. YES is supported!

Of course, there are also three situations:

ON the rightmost side, if Locked on is displayed (it indicates: Yes, BIOS has enabled this function), and Locked Off (it indicates that virtualization technology is disabled in BIOS, but it does not indicate that CPU supports virtualization technology, this may be because the CPU does not support this technology and the BIOS automatically disables this function). Please go to the BIOS to set the relevant hardware virtualization (hardware virtualization) switch to try (how to enable, find the relevant BIOS settings ).

 

When the above conditions are met, it means that our CPU supports virtualization technology and the XP Mode can be installed. XP Mode is a combination of Virutal PC Virtual Technology and Windows XP pre-configuration images. You can create a Virtual Windows XP environment, so we also need to install a Windows Virtual PC. Windows Virtual PC is the "Typer 2 Hypervisor" in Windows 7, that is, virtualization based on the host operating system, allowing users to run multiple Windows System instances on a device.

Looking at the article, it is very difficult and troublesome. In fact, there are two steps: Install the Chinese version of Windows XP Mode, and then install Windows Virtual PC (which is actually a patch Package). Then you can use it! XP Mode requires Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Enterprise, or Windows 7 Ultimate system. This is an estimate that everyone is satisfied, you know!

The most important thing is that this product is officially owned by Microsoft!
