[Guest beamish]

Hello,

Can Virtual PC 2004 SP1 be used with Windows XP Home SP2?

Tried downloading Virtual PC 2007, it is restricted to Windows XP

Pro and above.

Yes, it runs on XP Home.

 

It is not restricted to XP Pro and above.

 

The advisory message is telling you that XP Home is not a supported host

operating system, not whether or not it will run. Click through the

advisory message and it will install.

2007 will work as well - it is just not supported on Windows XP Home.

 

My suggestion, however:

VirtualBox
