Windows 10 on Windows XP
It would seem to install the system on a virtual machine is a easy. This is just an emulation of a regular PC.
But it became interesting: is it possible to put Windows 10 on a virtual machine that will be on Windows XP? Let's check :)
I have already installed and prepared clean Windows XP for such purposes :)
I also installed the latest version of three emulators that are compatible with XP.
The first will be Virtual PC 2007, which was created by Microsoft itself.
The latest version of this app has been released, as already you can guess, in 2007. It will not work even on Windows 8, patches are needed.
In the meantime, we create a virtual machine, allocate memory and create a hard disk - the usual procedure
Insert the Windows 10 image and start the machine.
And we see the bootloader logo.
[it's been a long time...]
It took a long time and the system froze at the boot screen. Unfortunately, such a platform is no longer enough even to start a launch.
When you reboot, everything will be exactly the same.
Well, now let's go to VirtualBox
The latest version of VirtualBox is installed here, which is compatible with XP
VirtualBox already supports 8.1 compatibility here So let's try in both 8.1 compatibility mode and "Other" mode
Let's start.
it takes a long time and.....
...we are greeted with a critical error due to which the virtual the machine simply stops working
Even if we ignore it, the virtual machine will not come to life. Only shutdown will be available.
We try again, but with different compatibility settings.
And the system still freezes, as it did in MS Virtual PC. And what is the reason for the error? Doesn't even show the blue screen :(
And in the virtual machine, complete silence - no activity
And the last in line is VMware Workstation, the latest version for XP is 10.0
But alas, nothing will work out here either. But for that we are shown a screen of death with an error code.
But based on the error code, there can be many reasons for this, usually it can arise due to problems with the drivers.
Still, can you install Windows 10 on Windows XP?

Still, can you install Windows 10 on Windows XP? My answer is: No.
But it will be funny if someone succeeds. It will be interesting for me to see the results.
And that's all. See you :)
