Microsoft's support for Windows XP is delayed. There were rumors of being able to update said system by modifying the registry to simulate a version of embedded devices (which the company itself quickly denied that it worked). And even when the natural step would be migration<\/strong> From our computer to a new operating system, many programs are still compatible with the old Windows XP.<\/p>\n

In this situation, the best idea may be virtualization of our system<\/strong>, but the answer provided by Microsoft (called Windows XP Mode) requires the use of professional versions of Windows 7 and 8 \/ 8.1.<\/p>\n

With the next guide we will learn how to get around this restriction and be able to emulate the classic Windows XP on our computer.<\/p>\n

<\/span>The first requirement that our team must meet is that both the motherboard and the processor are compatible with Hyper-V virtualization technology (either in Intel with Intel-VT or AMD with AMD-V). This information can be obtained directly on the manufacturer's web portal.<\/p>\n

Next, we must download the executable<\/strong> in XP mode (WindowsXPMode_es-en.exe) from the Microsoft web portal<\/a>, but we won't start to install it.<\/p>\n

<\/source>
\nxpmode2-830x275-2134066\n<\/picture><\/p>\n

Next, we will proceed to decompress the contained image<\/strong> within the installer. We suggest using the 7-zip compressor<\/a>. We will click with the right button of the mouse and we will choose the option \u00abOpen file\u00bb and we will extract the file that is in the path \u00ab\/ sources \/ xpm\u00bb.<\/p>\n

<\/source>
\nxpmode3-830x559-3154839\n<\/picture><\/p>\n

Following, we will open the file<\/strong> "Xpm" that we have extracted following the same procedure above and, this time, we are going to extract<\/strong> the file named "VirtualXPVHD". This file is a virtual drive of a hard disk, with this operating system installed.<\/p>\n

<\/source>
\nxpmode4-830x559-4203419\n<\/picture><\/p>\n

Once the file \u00abVirtualXPVHD\u00bb is extracted we will change the name and we will modify its extension<\/strong>, adding ".vhd". Now we can delete the file "WindowsXPMode_es-es.exe" to free up space on our disk and. Once this step is completed, we will have an image of a hard disk capable of booting through a virtual machine.<\/p>\n

To emulate this system we have selected as virtual machine VirtualBox<\/a>, free of charge and available for a multitude of platforms. We will create a new virtual machine<\/strong> and select "Windows XP (32-bit)" as the environment to install.<\/p>\n

<\/source>
\n(*8*)\n<\/picture><\/p>\n

Next we must allocate the amount of RAM<\/strong> To the system. By default, VirtualBox recommends 192 MB, but if you have enough memory on your system (perhaps several gigabytes) you can allocate a larger amount to it. With 512 MB it will be enough to run this operating system and most of its applications.<\/p>\n

<\/source>
\nxpmode6-830x641-3431104\n<\/picture><\/p>\n

Next we must create a virtual hard disk, but instead we will navigate to the location of our "VirtualXPVHD.vhd" file and select it.<\/p>\n

<\/source>
\nxpmode7-830x639-9962925\n<\/picture><\/p>\n

In conclusion, we can start the system<\/strong> by clicking the start button of the virtual machine. Luckily, it only requires access to some parameters to complete the system installation and not to complete it completely. Once the setup is complete, you will have a Windows XP functionality similar to that obtained from a genuine disc<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

<\/source>
\nxpmode8-830x761-3481928\n<\/picture><\/p>\n

The emulation of a system limits its functionality to the virtual machine space. If we yearn integrate applications<\/strong> of our virtualized system on the host system, we can use other available utilities, such as VirtualBox's transparent mode.<\/p>\n
