Re: a looming disaster

Question:

'also - does anyone have experience of what this might do to an xp virtual machine running on the 7 pro built in xp mode? i have several customers who use this because they have to use ie6 to connect to a particular website. will the vm be "carried over" to the 10 install?'

Answer:

@ psychonaut

The XP VM will not be carried over.

The feature is part of Windows 7 and does not exist on W10!!

These machines and their VM's need to be protected and of the highest priority need to be backed up so you can restore a working Win7/XP-vm setup quickly in case W10 is accidentally installed/upgraded to these machines.
