    Installing Windows Vista alongside Windows 10 via VHD


    Hi everyone,

    I have a Dell 3531 Laptop currently running Windows 10,

    I'd like to install Windows Vista on a VHD so I can dual boot Windows 10 and Vista. I've tried it a few times but I can't figure it out. I was wondering if anyone could help me on how to do it, or if it is even possible to do.

    I know it may sound a little weird that I want to dual boot windows 10 with such an older version of windows, but I have my reasons!!!

    Thanks!!

    :)

  2. Windows 10 Pro is it legit to run it from a VHD

    Hi,

    I used to use Windows 7 booting to VHD, and I was using the Enterprise version.

    Now, I have seen that Windows 8 was able to boot to VHD.

    But I cannot find anywhere if we can use Windows 10 PRO boot to VHD,

    Is the Pro license allows us to use the VHD Native boot? (Aka booting from a VHD file?)

    If so,

    I have seen a post regarding a feature that we cannot know if it will be or not available in that post

    Windows 10 VHD Native Boot Installation--Officially Supported?

    more precisely "I have a clean install of Windows 10 Pro booting from VHDX. I received the Windows Update notice to Upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, version 1511, 10586. This update then fails with a pop-up message "You
    can't install Windows on a virtual drive.""

    If we install Windows 10 Pro to VHD boot , are we gonna be able to continue upgrades?

    Is there a list of features that are not available?

    Mny Tx!

    Windows 10 VHD Native Boot Installation--Officially Supported?

    Is booting Windows 10 from a vhd (or vhdx) file officially supported by Microsoft? I know there were lots of articles about running the Windows 10 technical preview by using Boot From VHD, but I have been unable to find a listing of Windows 10 features
    that shows that it officially supports this feature. It is well-known that a vhd-booted Windows 8.1 installation cannot be upgraded directly to Windows 10 (as was also true when upgrading from 8 to 8.1). Does anybody know the "status" of VHD Native Boot
    going forward?

    Exactly.

    All Windows Vista and later versions and editions support booting another OS from VHD, but the Windows version and edition you install to a VHD must be one of the following:
    • Windows 7: Ultimate or Enterprise
    • Windows 8 / 8.1: Pro or Enterprise
    • Windows 10: Pro, Education or Enterprsise
    In addition Windows Server 2008 R2 and later editions can be booted from a VHD.
