    How to convert actual XP PC with apps and files into XP VM on Win 10?

    My old XP machine (still running) has apps and files going back to 2008, including 10GB of emails, and I'd like to convert it into a Virtual Machine on my Win 10 Pro 64-bit (currently version 1909). So the XP will always be there when I need to get something, but would no longer connect to the internet a;though ideally should make it possible for me to copy and paste from the XP VM into the real Win 10.

    BTW, I kept my XP machine updated through April 2019 using the POS hack.

    So, is this possible?

    I just played with Hyper-V on my Win 10 machine for the first ever time last night, and so I'm a VM virgin. I suppose Hyper-V would be the way to go, but if you prefer a different virtualization app for this purpose, feel free to suggest.

    At this point, giving me links to steps would be a great start. I don't ask for an encyclopedia at this point.

    Thanks!!
     
  3. problem connecting Bose qc 35 ii headphones to Dell XPS 13, win 8.1 64 bit

    Lots of people seem to be having trouble connecting bluetooth headphones to laptops. I have read and completed the troubleshooting steps both with my headphones (which connect easily to my phone) and with the drivers in Win 8.1 64-bit on my Dell XPS 13.
    The last step: the windows pgm compatibility troubleshooter. After accepting Win 8 settings as suggested in the troubleshooter, I observed that the Bose headphones could be paired *and* connected. However, the sound still issued through the laptop's speakers.
    What now?

    Windows 10 pro using Win Xp in Hyper-v connecting to LAN problem

    Hi Guys,
    Im new to the Windows 10 world, I am working with a small company with very outdated software...and hardware for that matter.
    I am trying to upgrade a PC to a new Desktop running windows 10 pro, that was the easy part. All the other old systems are running Windows XP and are connected to a central computer running Windows 2003 server. The software we use wont run on windows 10 so I am using Hyper V on the Windows 10 PC to emulate XP to connect to the server and be able to use the software for the business.

    I have a Hyper-V XP set up and have been able to add the network adaptor (Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller) through the virtual switch manager, but can not get it to show up.

    Hyper V aside I can not see the network I am trying to connect to from the regular Win 10 drives and devices list either, I am assuming it is because Server 2003 can not see Win 10, but I have been fooled before.

    So I am running out of ideas on how to solve this without re inventing the wheel, any suggestions would be great, hoping there is a simple solution that I have not banged my head against the wall lon enough to notice.
    Thanks in advance
