I have som programs only running on XP, and installed on a XP Mode.vhd running on Windows 7.
I have been able to move the vhd to Windows 8 and Hyper-V. BUT:
The license needs to be reactivated. Due to some problems vith addons I tried to mak phone-activation. Myt MS suggests that the copy is eventually pirated. I think its due to the fact that XP-mode is OEM, and I know no way to just change to a valid XP Pro license.
It is extremly many difficulties to bring old programs along:
- vhd splitted on 2 files, needs to be combined
- XPMUsers password - needs to be remembered/removed
- Virtual PC addons to be removed
- New integration addons (can't be installed if previous addons not removed)
- impossible reactivation
- impossible to upgrade OS to Win pro (no oem)
:(
