XP Mode on your Windows

7 computer
(available on certain models)
Your computer supports virtualization technology that enables you to run
Windows XP-compatible applications on your Windows 7 computer. This
gives you the flexibility to continue using legacy applications while still
benefiting from Windows 7 improvements.
Virtual Windows XP Mode is supported only on systems running Windows
7 Professional and Windows 7 Ultimate.
To take advantage of virtual Windows XP Mode, you may need to enable
the Virtualization Technology setting in your computer’s BIOS (Basic Input/
Output System). To check this setting and enable it if necessary, do the
following:
1. Start or restart your computer while pressing the ESC key. The BIOS
settings screen displays.
2. Press the F1 key.
3. Set "Virtualization Technology" to Enable.
4. Restart the computer.
Some models are equipped with a "Virtualization Technology".
For more information on running Windows XP Mode on your Windows 7
system, please visit Microsoft’s Web site at www.microsoft.com/windows/
