Re: Staying with XP after April 8 2014 (was Win 7 vs Win 8)

Thanks, Kari, I'll do that.  Incidentally, I found a lot

of very mixed reviews on the Laplink product, plus mentions

of a deceptive one-use-only licensing arrangement and reference

to tech support  based in India.  (One of my favorite things,

he said, with great sarcasm.)

Jordan,

Please read my post from March 27 entitled "Using Paragon Go [Virtual]
Free Edition". It does exactly what you are asking for, albeit there is
the problem of activating WinXP.
