    Sharing XP Files from Hyper-V


    I'm running Windows XP on Windows 10 with Hyper-V. How do I share files between XP and the c drive on my physical computer? This was so easy with VPC 2007.

    :)

    Hyper-V, Windows 10 and Transfers

    I upgraded my Windows 10 Home recently to Windows 10 Pro to use Hyper-V for legacy software. I set up Hyper-V without too much difficulty, installed Windows XP as the operating system, and everything operated fine. Then I discovered Hyper-V seems to be
    user-hostile when it comes to transferring files from the host PC to the VM. Most of the help I found on the internet was highly technical and/or written several years ago when Hyper-V rolled out on Windows 8 or 8.1.

    Microsoft's VPC 2007 was a wonderful, intuitive piece of software. I miss it. Do you have step-by-step instructions in simple English for configuring Hyper-V to share documents with the host PC, and vice versa? Do you have any insight whether a simplified
    fix is coming in the near future?

    Run Windows XP mode in virtual machine

    Original title: Hyper-V / XP Mode Virtual

    To whom it may concern;

    I have Hyper-V up and running in Windows 10. I created a virtual machine easily enough.

    I want to run Windows XP Mode in this virtual machine in order to run an old software.

    I have downloaded Windows XP Mode.exe from Microsoft site.

    I created an ISO file from this Windows XP Mode.exe file and used this in the setup manager of Hyper-V.

    When I click on "Connect" I get the following message:

    Do I need to burn this file to a CD and use as a boot?

    Sharing XP Files from Hyper-V

    Years ago before SMB Networks and Home Networks became popular we had the sneakernet, copy files onto a floppy disk [small at 1.44MB max] then take the disk to another computer. One should be able to do the same but with USB Thumb/Flash drives, copy from one OS then put on the other OS. I prefer the NAS drive attached to my Router.

    Hyper-V is designed for enterprise networks where security is very important. Drag and drop cannot be done securely so it is not supported. I use Google Drive. The requirement for XP is that the disk be NTFS. With Google Drive on host and guest it is straightforward to transfer files. DropBox also works. And of course, flash drives. OneDrive is not supported in XP.
