| 1192699 | 2011-04-08 04:24:00 | Premium has XP support to. I use it often | dpDesignz (15919) | ||
| 1192700 | 2011-04-08 04:36:00 | Premium has XP support to. I use it often Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate support Windows XP Mode. Home Premium does not. |

| 1192701 | 2011-04-08 05:26:00 | Home premium is listed on the site for XP mode. And if you select it, you can download XP mode | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1192702 | 2011-04-08 05:56:00 | Home premium is listed on the site for XP mode. And if you select it, you can download XP mode Yeah you can download it, but it wont install - it comes up with a message saying system not compatible (or similar words). What pcuser42 posted is 100 % correct. You can use it though if you have another VM program installed, like VMLite (www.vmlite.com) |

| 1192704 | 2011-04-08 13:51:00 | AutoCAD 2006 and before: NO (Tried that on Vista, no love) AutoCAD 2007: there's a service pack you can download, which supposedly make it work. AutoCAD 2008: I'd expect it to work, though never tried it. If your friend has many old professional softwares, it's probably not a good idea to go to Win7. Software like AutoCAD, Civil3D can get real picky about Win7 (or the other way round). |
