XP mode helps you solve XP stop service

After years of the most fire topic in addition to network financial "balance treasure" outside, is a recent XP stop service! Can XP still work after it stops service? What about XP stopping service? which version of the operating system do I want to change? Win7 or Win8? More users would rather wait until the upcoming release of Windows 9 than to give up XP ...

When XP stops service, if networking, will be more vulnerable to viruses or unknown vulnerabilities of attacks, security will be greatly reduced! Many friends around the concern of the main focus on two aspects: Software compatibility and operating habits. Also afraid of replacing the new operating system, not adapt to the new operating interface, can not find the "familiar" menu options; fear that the new system will have some bugs in the compatibility of the software.

Today, we are concerned about the problem, in fact, when Windows 7 appeared, there are similar products to help us solve these, its name is: XP mode, or XP compatibility mode! This pattern is specifically designed to address the incompatibility of some applications under Windows7, and through it, These applications may be run in XP compatibility mode, similar to a virtual machine system. We simply install it on top of the new system, and we can invoke all software running on the new system of the machine.

So how do we install this XP mode model??

This XP mode is a special feature that comes with Windows 7, first to determine if your CPU supports virtualization technology!

Whether the CPU supports virtualization technology, we need to use a small software: SecurAble. He can help us test whether the CPU supports virtualization. Single file, run to detect the effect:

Come to think of it, the results above are also more at a glance? show no is not supported, show Yes is support!

Of course, there is a third situation:

At the far right, if the display locked on (it means: support, the BIOS has turned on the feature), display locked off (indicating that virtualization technology is turned off in the BIOS, but does not mean that the CPU supports virtualization technology, possibly because the CPU does not support the technology, the BIOS automatically disables the feature), Please go to the BIOS to set the related hardware virtualization (hardware virtualization) switch to try (how to turn on, find the relevant BIOS settings yourself).

When we meet the above conditions, our CPU support virtualization technology, you can install the XP mode model. XP mode is a combination of virutal PC virtual technology and Windows XP preconfigured mirrors to 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, which is based on the virtualization of host operating systems, allowing users to run multiple Windows system instances on one device.
