Windows Virtual PC is an application for Windows that allows users to run more than one operating system on the same computer.
Purpose
The software is designed to use legacy OS like XP and Vista within a virtualized environment on newer releases including 7th. Thus, it becomes possible to launch apps that may not be supported on modern desktops and laptops. However, taking into account that this virtual companion was updated a long time ago, it may not work properly on Windows 11.
Still, if you currently have Windows 7 on your computer, you can enjoy all functionality without limitations. It is possible to launch apps, complete tasks, perform file transfers and many more. On top of that, you are able to create snapshots of your virtual machines. There is an option to rollback to a previous state in case of issues from recent changes.
