Solve : Virtual XP on Win 10?

Answer» <html><body><p>Hello<br/><br/>I am trying to install XP as a virtual machine on my Win 10 PC. <br/><br/>This is what I can see in Hyper V: HyperV.jpg<br/><br/>When I try to connect, I <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/get-11812" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about GET">GET</a> a message on screen asking me to select Start from the Action menu: toStart.jpg<br/><br/>After clicking Start, I get the following message: Virtual machine could not be started because the hypervisor is not <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/running-1192206" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about RUNNING">RUNNING</a>.<br/><br/>What should I be doing, please?Hi <br/><br/>There is several both Hardware and software requires which need to be met before you can run Virtual machines.<br/>The best way for us to check all this is you running Speccy from here <br/><a href="https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/download">https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy/download</a><br/>After it runs select File , publish report and then copy the URL here for others to view.<br/>What I will be looking for is that you are running Windows Pro 64 bit , the amount of free space in memory and the disk drive and that the services are loading to run Virtual machines.<br/>Or there is this guide <br/><a href="https://www.download3k.com/articles/How-to-add-an-XP-Mode-Virtual-Machine-to-Windows-10-or-8-using-Hyper-V-00770">https://www.download3k.com/articles/How-to-add-an-XP-Mode-Virtual-Machine-to-Windows-10-or-8-using-Hyper-V-00770</a><br/>I think perhaps you haven't enabled hyper v in windows<br/><br/>Thank you, Lisa<br/><br/>This is the Speccy URL: <a href="http://speccy.piriform.com/results/7MYYsxa4Xmph86Fz4gfhAbB">http://speccy.piriform.com/results/7MYYsxa4Xmph86Fz4gfhAbB</a><br/><br/>If go to Task Manager | Performance tab (attached), it says virtualisation enabled.<br/><br/>Thanks for your help.You first may need to enable Virtualization in the Dell bios from the speccy report I see you are using a Dell Optiplex 380. The service <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/manual-247374" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about MANUAL">MANUAL</a> section on Virtualization Support attached shows the settings to change.<br/><br/>In my BIOS under Virtualisation Support, there is no 'Trusted Execution' as appears in your screenshot. There are only two items: Virtualisation, which was enabled, and VT for Direct I/O. That was not enabled, so I have enabled it.<br/><br/>Thanks again.Hi <br/>If the is no trusted execution option in means the computer doesn't have a TPM module <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/installed-499454" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about INSTALLED">INSTALLED</a>. Which is not required for running virtual machines.<br/>All the hardware and Windows 10 seems to be configured correctly to run a Virtual Machine.<br/>Is the Windows XP image the one supplied with Windows 10? or one you created?<br/>Another requirement of the Hyper-V hypervisor is the Intel XD bit/AMD NX bit to enabled Data execution prevention. Those settings can also be found (somewhere) in the BIOS, I expect.<br/><br/>I will see if I can find that in the BIOS - thanks BC_ProgrammerI didn't know, Lisa, that Win XP came with Win 10 but, no, I pointed Hyper-V to the SETUP.EXE file for XP that I have in a <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/folder-246959" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FOLDER">FOLDER</a> on my desktop.<br/><br/>I am willing to delete the XP Virtual machine I have created (maybe I have set it up wrong?) and start again. If I did that, in Hyper-V Settings, which would I choose from the Add Hardware (please see screenshot), please (I can't remember what I chose last time)?<br/><br/>Thanks for your patience.<br/><br/>You may not be able to run Hyper-v as it requires a 64-bit Processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT), which I think the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 does not have.<br/><br/>You can check your processor yourself, go to this page and download a utility called CoreInfo:<br/><a href="https://www.howtogeek.com/73318/how-to-check-if-your-cpu-supports-second-level-address-translation-slat/">https://www.howtogeek.com/73318/how-to-check-if-your-cpu-supports-second-level-address-translation-slat/</a><br/><br/>Here are the Hyper-V system requirements:<br/><a href="https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/hyper-v-requirements">https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/hyper-v-requirements</a><br/>======================================================================================<br/>What you can do for now is use VirtualBox, this only requires that the processor has SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2) support, which the Q6600 does.<br/>I have used this program for a long time, it is very well designed and doesn't have too many hard parts to learn.<br/><a href="https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Screenshots">https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Screenshots</a>Many thanks for your informative reply an the links you have kindly posted. I have downloaded VirtualBox - hopefully, I will have better luck with that.</p></body></html>
