Few days back we had seen a detailed guide on running XP mode for Windows 7. One of the main pre-requisite in order to run the Windows XP Mode, which comes as an add-on was that your CPU must have hardware level virtualization support.
This requirement made it impossible for many users to use Windows XP Mode on Windows 7. Not to worry anymore! Here is an alternative for XP Mode – VMLite.
