systems and if you thought Windows XP could take up space consider my base install of Windows 7, XPMode

and Autostar Suite required around 15 Gb! You’ll need a lot more if you want all those powerful image apps

like CS3 etc on the same partition. Also bear in mind that the Windows page file will default to 1.5x the system

memory and be located on the C drive, since most Windows7 systems will START with 4GB of ram that’s 6GB of

hard drive just for the page file.

Hardware Virtualisation

Windows Virtual PC requires hardware-assisted virtualization. The virtualization support is available in

processors that include a virtualization option-specifically processors with Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel

VT) or AMD Virtualization (AMD-V) technology. You are asked to check for this by the Microsoft website prior to

downloading the Virtual PC\XPMode software. This CPU function must also be supported and enabled in the

BIOS, I was lucky and found my hardware virtualisation was enabled by default. Most modern CPU’s will support

virtualisation but importantly not all motherboards do! The problem seems particularly prevalent amongst

laptop manufactures, and as most AA’s will be using a laptop in the field it’s a very important point to check. If

you are looking to purchase a new laptop\PC get this in writing from your supplier! To see what a major upset

Sony created over this issue check the following link:-

Windows 7 Editions

When I first looked at what editions allowed Virtual PC some online commentators seemed to think that as

XPMode was stated as free to Pro, Enterprise & Ultimate editions there was an implication that it would not be

able to run at all on more basic editions. This doesn’t appear to be the case however, to quote the Microsoft

head of virtualisation in an interview:

“If you have an app and you conclude you have to run it in a virtual machine (and you’ve got a Professional or

higher version of Windows 7) you get access to Windows XP mode. This is a pre-packaged virtual machine (XP

SP3) that is ready to go. If you’ve got a Home or Home Premium version of 7 you have access to the same

functionality but you have to set the virtual machine up by hand. With these lower SKUs you also have to source

your own copy of XP - and that can’t be the version on your old PC unless you completely uninstall it from that

PC. To my mind, your best bet is to go with the Professional or Ultimate version of Windows 7”

Installation Walkthrough

OK, if your still here we’ll presume your good to try this! There now follows a description of my hardware and

software environment used to test.
