I use Google DNS, so I'll enter 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.Before you begin installing your Windows XP emulator, you’ll first need the Windows XP installation files in the ISO image file format. Enter the same DNS server addresses as the host.You'll find the information you need listed under your Ethernet or wireless adapter name. Unsure what they are? On your host machine, press Windows Key + R, then type CMD, and hit Enter.Enter your Subnet mask and Default gateway. Select Use the following IP address, and enter an available IP address for your home network.Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), then select Properties. Then, right-click the Local Area Connection and select Properties.
Head to Control Panel > Network and internet Connections > Network Connections.When you enter the Windows XP virtual machine, you'll have to update your network adapter settings: "Combining" the adapters creates a network bridge, allowing the virtual machine to connect to a network even though it doesn't have direct access to the router (or alternative switch). Browse to the folder we extracted our files to, select VirtualXP, then Open. Then, hit the folder with the green arrow. Under Hard disk, select Use an existing virtual hard disk file. Finally, you need to assign the virtual hard disk we extracted from the Windows XP Mode executable earlier.I would advise assigning a minimum of 512 MB (but you won't need more than 2048 MB).
Luckily, Windows XP is old and doesn't require buckets of RAM to run. Memory is a shared resource, meaning both the host (your PC) and the guest (the virtual machine) use it concurrently.
If you include "XP" in the virtual machine name, the Version will automatically change to reflect that. Now, give your virtual machine a suitable name.At the bottom of the Create Virtual Machine window, select Expert Mode (if your window shows an option for Guided Mode, you're already using Expert Mode).We're going to install the Windows XP Mode virtual hard drive in VirtualBox. For example, using VirtualBox, you could try a Linux distro on Windows without installing it on your actual hardware. VirtualBox is a free virtual machine app that allows you to run different operating systems on your host machine. Install Windows XP Mode in a Virtual Machineīefore we completed the XP Mode virtual hard disk extraction, I asked you to download and install VirtualBox.
