| | VPC Portability? Does anyone know if VPC Supports Usb Flash Drive Installations to be used on any USB computer. Are virtual machines Transferrable from PC to PC? If not does Microsoft Plan on ever having this kind of Flexibilitiy? Also, Is it posible to run newer versions of windows as a guest on a host running an older version of windows? |

Are virtual machines Transferrable from PC to PC? can move a shutdown VM from PC to PC. Generally without issue. Occassionally you might run into some issues when switching from a particular AMD CPU to Intel CPUs. Quote: >If not >does Microsoft Plan on ever having this kind of Flexibilitiy? Also, Is it >posible to run newer versions of windows as a guest on a host running an >older version of windows? supports VPC, you can run whatever OS you want in a VM. VPC is just an app, the VMs are like documents, there's no direct relationship between the 2 OSes. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |

| | Re: VPC Portability? Thank You you two have been helpful! I'm still not sure about if it's possible to open a virtual drive on any computer (including PC's that have not installed the VPC app). Maybe i should be asking if the VPC app is transferrable from PC to PC? |

VPC is free, you can install it on any system that you have admin rights to. -- Cheers, Steve Jain, Virtual Machine MVP http://vpc.essjae.com/ |
