As for built-in host capabilities, Windows eschewed hardware virtualization and now instead has a hypervisor built in, Hyper-V. Running guests in a hypervisor is more efficient, but at the cost of flexibility and compatibility with any old OS or platform. Now your guest OS must support the narrow band of virtual hardware the hypervisor presents. Fortunately, Windows 7 is compatible with Hyper-V. If you search "windows 7 in hyper-v" you will find many articles and videos on how to set it up on Windows 10/11. If you want to run Linux, for example, this is now how WSL works under the covers (with additional conveniences and bridge features added). Or even Android via Android Subsystem for Windows � Or, of course you can install your own VM host such as VirtualBox if you want to be able to run anything you want in it. - Kurt -----Original Message----- From: xywrite-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx <xywrite-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> On Behalf Of Kari Eveli Sent: Sunday, October 15, 2023 4:56 AM To: xywrite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: Xy4_Installation&Learning_Guide.pdf Carl and Edward, I got a more elaborate version from Edward with page numbers which makes the index workable. Thank you! This replaces the former one: https://www.lexitec.fi/xywrite/Xy4_Installation%26Learning_Guide.pdf Incidentally, page numbering seems to work ok in most PDF readers, e.g.: Acrobat, Foxit, PDF-Exchange, SumatraPDF. I am working on the Customization Guide but still doing some tweaking to get the process better. Carl has the rare transition guide which would be a nice addition to the readily available set of guides. Meanwhile, I have changed to Windows 10. The transition was pretty smooth but some things did not make me happy. I lost Virtual PC 2007 which made me set up Windows 7 in a virtual machine. The double virtualization solution is slow but works. A Win7 VM is useful for running programs that are not compatible with Win10, like Acrobat X.
