Windows 10: install 32 windows 10 on previously installed 64 bit version

It sounds too much trouble! In VMWare you just set the network to NAT (shared with the host) and you have access to internet as well as can share data between the host and the guest. To avoid all these you can just copy-paste between the two. Or access the host via Teamviewer from XP and copy files from the file transfer utility.

Better solution: install Dropbox on both host and guest and place your files you want to share there.

 

thanks everyone....
will just use conventional network folder sharing, also use box.net as you get 10gb free which is so easy to share files....which as in the cloud does not require both networked computers to be on....

am now all set thanks to everyone's help, particularly Spapakons.....thank you
