Virtual Win7 32-bit



Carl,

The easiest thing would be to install the 32-bit Win7 in a virtual
machine under the real 64-bit Win7 you have. Use any virtualization
program to do this. You can activate it, it needs a separate license.
For experimenting, I would suggest VBox as the platform. This is perhaps
not for keeps, as it will drag down performance. If you like 32-bit
Win7, you will have to install it as a real machine.


Best regards,

Carl-- Before you try anything virtual or multibooted, I suggest opening the 32-bit Win7 and transferring over your XY setup from Win XP. I think you can click on editor.exe or whatever .bat file you use to open XP and you will be asked if you want to run that with a CMD prompt. I had to use XP mode in 64-bit Win7. But 32-bit Win 8.1 just runs my old XY. So maybe 32-bit Win 7 will do the same. If not...looks like you have plenty of other options. Jon Pareles
