Adds the ability to run XP applications in a newer Windows environment.

Since Microsoft has completely ended all support for Windows XP, there have not been any updates to the operating system to improve compatibility with older applications.

With Windows XP Mode, you can run Windows XP applications without having to upgrade your software. This can be especially useful if the programs you want to use have not been changed to support Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10.

The program works similar to a virtual system and allows for the emulation of a Windows XP system on your newer Windows desktop.

All in all, this application can be useful for providing support for old and outdated applications in Windows 7.

To use Windows XP Mode, you need to download and install Windows XP Mode, and Windows Virtual PC, the program that runs virtual operating systems on your computer.
