How to make XP programs support Windows 7 system

  
If you find compatibility issues with some programs, you have the following four options:
1) XP compatibility mode. Right-click the shortcut in the program file or start menu, select Properties, click Compatibility Options, and select Run in XP from the drop-down menu.
2) Upgrade to the latest version or use another alternative.
3) Install Windows 7 system in a separate partition, selectively boot XP or Windows 7 (dual system).
4) If you are a Windows 7 Business or Ultimate user, you can download and install Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode (XP mode). This will allow you to run the XP environment under Windows 7 system.
Recently, the technology website PC World in the reader question and answer column on the user upgrade Windows 7 worried about the inability to use the XP program to explain:
It is certain that most applications that support XP and Vista can support Windows 7.
Of course, there are some exceptions. If you want to determine if your application supports the new system platform, you can check out the Microsoft Windows 7 Compatibility Center. Log in to the Compatibility Center page, search for the program's name, and see Microsoft's explanation.
Alternatively, you can log in to the app's official website to view official instructions.
Other issues: If you are upgrading Windows 7 from an old XP computer, you may choose to upgrade the 64-bit version of Windows 7 from a 32-bit version of Windows. However, some 16-bit Windows programs in the 1990s can only run in 32-bit system environments, and they generally do not support 64-bit Windows. Therefore, some legacy programs may not support the new system.
