The earlier Microsoft versions which run on older versions of Windows are still available and support operating systems older than Windows XP. Windows Virtual PC only runs on Windows 7. History Ĭonnectix Virtual PC, Microsoft Virtual PC 2004, Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, and Windows Virtual PC are successive versions of the same software. Other operating systems such as Linux may run, but Microsoft does not provide support, or drivers (known as "Virtual Machine Additions") for these operating systems. Supported Windows operating systems can run inside Virtual PC. Virtual PC virtualizes a standard IBM PC compatible device and its associated hardware. Windows Virtual PC is not supported on Windows 8 or Windows 10, and has been superseded by Hyper-V. The older versions, which support a wider range of host and guest operating systems, remain available. The newest release, Windows Virtual PC, does not run on versions of Windows earlier than Windows 7, and does not officially support MS-DOS or operating systems earlier than Windows XP Professional SP3 as guests. In August 2006, Microsoft announced the Mac version would not be ported to Intel-based Macs, effectively discontinuing the product as PowerPC-based Macs would no longer be manufactured. In July 2006, Microsoft released the Windows version free of charge.
Windows Virtual PC (successor to Microsoft Virtual PC 2007, Microsoft Virtual PC 2004, and Connectix Virtual PC) is a virtualization program for Microsoft Windows, and formerly for Mac OS X. com /en-us /help /958559 /description-of-windows-virtual-pc
