VMLite XP hardware does not require virtualization support to run XP mode as usual.

  

Windows XP mode is based on Microsoft Virtual PC, which is running Windows XP virtual machine on Windows 7, but this function is to be used by the host CPU to support hardware virtualization. Nowadays, there are still relatively few CPU-supported virtualization technologies on the notebook. Some models do not have the option to enable virtualization in bios even if they are supported. It is a headache for people who want to play XP in Windows 7.

But now there is a company VMLite out of a VMLite XP mode, but this does not require CPU to support virtualization technology, as long as your machine can run virtual machine can achieve Microsoft XP mode, VMLite XP is completely cloned Windows XP mode, the operation is basically the same, let's take a look at it.

In order to balance the software compatibility of Windows7, Microsoft introduced a "Windows XP mode". It can run more than one virtual XP system on Win7, so you can use some old software that only supports XP, just like the software under Win7. This was a good idea, but unfortunately, "Windows XP mode" requires CPU support for virtualization technology, such as Intel's VT or AMD's AMD-V technology, but in fact, not everyone's CPU supports this. Virtualization features.

The virtual machine software VMLite has launched the "VMLite XP Mode" for sub-restrictions, which does not require hardware support to support virtualization. It completely cloned Microsoft's "Windows XP mode", and the effect of the two runs almost exactly the same. And VMLite directly supports the Windows XP mode installation files you downloaded or installed, you can use Microsoft Windows XP for free. This is more affordable than using other virtual machines such as VirtualBox, at least not to buy genuine XP ……

It is worth mentioning that "VMLite XP mode" is a study by the mainland of Stanford University Dr. Luo Huihong's VMLite company, founded in Silicon Valley, recently released a product that led the team to develop a virtual machine that became the first in the world to be designed by the Chinese themselves. It can run on any PC without hardware support. XP mode ultra-thin high-speed virtual machine & rdquo;. And VMLite XP mode is completely free and worthy of admiration!

Advantages of VMLite XP mode over Microsoft XP mode:

Support for more virtual machine image formats: VMLite supports Microsoft XPM package, and Virtual machine image (VMDK, VHD, VDI, HDD format) that has been generated based on existing virtual machine vendor technology. It also supports virtual machine images that were converted from older computers using VMLite's MyOldPCs software.

support more operating systems: Microsoft XP mode requires that the host must be installed Win7. VMLite has very few requirements for the host. The host can run Windows XP /Vista /7 /2003 Server /2008 Server.

Fast: In Microsoft's implementation mechanism, the virtual machine runs on a local host and is treated as a remote computer. Microsoft uses Remote Display Protocol (RDP) to communicate between virtual machines and between virtual machines and hosts. VMLite uses a high-bandwidth direct communication mechanism between the virtual machine and the host, so it performs much faster than Microsoft. Previous12Next page Total 2 pages
