Can you play windows xp games on windows 7 home premium?
-
I have a lot of old windows xp games I want to play on windows 7 home premium. But before I go out and buy another computer, I wanted to make sure it would work. On the windows microsoft site someone answered that you can only play windows xp games on windows 7 professional or ultimate. is this right? Or can you play windows xp games on windows 7 home premium? just by doing compatibility mode. I tried it on my current windows 7 home premium and it says the correct drivers are not installed. the main question is my question.

Answer:
If they don't run in compatibility mode you can set up a virtual machine running XP and install them on that. Windows 7 Professional and above ship with a virtual machine , not sure about home but there are several different VM's available.
