Windows 10: Emulate Windows XP in Windows 10

Greetings. Instead of using space on my existing hard drive how about taking the drive out of my old computer with XP neatly installed along with the program I intend to use and installing it in one of the two available slots in the Windows 10 computer. I'm assuming of course it physically fits. Wondering what could possible go wrong, and how do I avoid that? Would BIOS need tweaking? I realize I would still need a virtualization program. Doable, or am I once again making more work for myself? Thanks for you time.

Windows 7 to Pack Virtual Windows XP

ah! lol. I selected xp from a list and thought that was all that was needed, turns out its just suggesting settings based on the selection. I'll just read up on this. I'm rushing into it without much thought here.

ya I'm an idiot dude. I thought this would be like the windows mobile emulator in visual studio where everything is loaded already for you. I dont exactly have an xp disc laying around here at work lol.

I'll just have to play with it when I get home.

 

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
