Using virtualization technology
(Available on certain models)
Your computer may support virtualization technology that enables 
you to run Windows
®
 XP-compatible applications on your 
Windows
®
 7 computer. This gives you the flexibility to continue 
using legacy applications while still benefiting from Windows
®
 7 
improvements. Virtual Windows
®
 XP Mode is supported only on 
systems running Windows
®
 7 Professional or Windows
®
 7 
Ultimate.
To take advantage of Virtual Windows
®
 XP Mode, you may need to 
enable the Virtualization Technology setting in your computer’s 
BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). To check if virtualization 
technology is supported on your computer model and to enable it if 
necessary, do the following:

Start or restart your computer. While the system starts, press 
the appropriate key for accessing the BIOS Setup screen. 
The key you need to press (usually 
ESC
F1
F2
, or the 
Del
 key) varies 
by computer model. A message indicating which key to press 
displays on the screen shortly after you start or restart the computer. 
This message may be expressed as “
F1=Setup
” or something 
similar.

Press the appropriate key (usually 
ESC
F1
, or 
F2
) for 
accessing the BIOS on your computer model, as directed by 
the on-screen message.

and enable it if necessary.
