Maybe someone more knowledgeable will either confirm it or shoot me down in flames Yes it is possible to use your own license, Nathan pointed me to a link a while ago. |

| 839110 | 2009-12-14 02:44:00 | You could use vmware convertor, to convert your current pc into a virtual version to use with vmware player, also free to use with windows 7 as not ever version has xp mode.... Hi You don't need to use VMWare for any of this Microsoft provides a free Physical to Virtual conversion tool - Disk2VHD, which will even operate live while you are using the old machine, and even allow you to save the exported VHD back to the same volume you are capturing from Sysinternals Disk2VHD technet.microsoft.com then you can download Virtual PC 2007 SP1 www.microsoft.com or Windows Virtual PC and create a new VM with the VHD as the disk from above process www.microsoft.com Thanks Nathan |

| 839114 | 2009-12-14 03:36:00 | The MS one? Virtual PC supports a maximum virtual disk size of 127GB. If you create a VHD from a larger disk it will not be accessible from a Virtual PC VM. |
