| | Virtual PC 64 bit guests I'm running virtual pc 2007 64 bit on a windows server 2003 64 bit edition as the host OS. It seems to only be able to run 32 bit guests. Is there a way to load windows server 2003 64bit guest operating systems on virtual pc 64 bit?? If not, do I need to install virtual server instead? Thanks, TJ |

| | Re: Virtual PC 64 bit guests Neither Virtual PC nor Virtual Server will support 64-bit guests. Your only Microsoft solution is Hyper-V, running as part of Windows Server 2008, if your hardware supports it. From other vendors, something like VMWare Workstation might be a good fit, but you'd have to convert any existing VMs to work in it. -- Charlie. http://msmvps.com/blogs/xperts64 http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/charlie.russel "Tim" <tjc7546@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:2D40F91E-66A0-4F8D-B73A-9DC52B36844D@xxxxxx Quote: > I'm running virtual pc 2007 64 bit on a windows server 2003 64 bit > edition > as the host OS.

| | Re: Virtual PC 64 bit guests Thanks. One question... will my existing VPC 2007 images work with the new Hyper-V?
