Hello.
Does anybody know if it's possible to try out out "XP Mode" in Windows seven, if Windows seven is working within of Virtualbox? The processor I'm running contains the VT-x capacity and it really is enabled in the BIOS. Theoretically VT-x makes it possible for for nesting (ie. managing Xen inside of an other instance of Xen), nevertheless I could not get the visitor Windows 7 OS to detect the availability of VT-x.
Does Virtualbox help this? What do I will need to configure? Alternatively,
Windows 7 Enterprise, does VMWare assistance this?
Update: thanks to everybody who responded. Soon after performing even more research and experimentation myself,
Office Standard 2010 Key, I discovered that this at present just isn't doable,
Office 2007 Enterprise, though theoretically it might be (my authentic determination was to play about with XP Mode with no bodily rebooting the machine - I suppose I'll must byte the bullet and do a entire set up / reboot bodily). More reference:
From VMWare local community (emphasis added):
It is just feasible to run nested VMs once the outer VM utilizes hardware virtualization (Intel's VT-x or AMD's AMD-V) as well as the interior VM makes use of the classical BT (binary translation) keep track of. You might operate any 32-bit or 64-bit running method since the outer guest. You could possibly only operate 32-bit operating programs since the inner guest. These configurations are fully unsupported.
Virtual Computer 2008 employs the equivalent of "hardware virtualization" not "binary translation", and as this kind of, it can be incompatible using the scenario explained.
From Invisible Labs (emphasis extra):
We can now virtualize complicated hypervisors,
Microsoft Office 2007 Sale, like e.g. Virtual Personal computer 2007 or Virtual Box with SVM turned on (BTW, we can also operate VMWare Workstation, but that does not count,
Cheap Office Standard 2007, as on AMD processors it doesn't utilize SVM recommendations). We also possess a prototype code that enables to run nested hypervisors on VT-x but that code demands a little far more polishing (oh, didn’t you know that our NBP also supports VT-x these days?).
The conclusion is it can be technically achievable, but no products implements it but. I will award the bounty anyways.
