I never tried virtual machines before

I never tried virtual machines before.

Which is better for running old xp games?
use a virtual machine, or buy a separate drive and install an xp there and disable enable drives in the bios?

A virtual machine. Because the newer hardware that you probably have wouldn't work well with XP

>newer hardware
>wouldn't work well with XP

That's a thing?
But wouldn't virtual machines be slower than ordinary OS?

um windows has a compatibility mode you dont need to use a virtual machine

It sucks ass.

Drivers...
Yes. Virtual machines are slower. But on a modern machine, the performance difference is BARELY there.

But what if I use my old HD 6570?

tfw security through VMs

I installed an XP game two months ago, and I ended up installing a lot of suspicious stuff just to make it run properly.

I feel I need to clean install windows 10 again, then use another means to run old games.

I feel you need to kill yourself. Retard.

This is what happens when you run Windows

What game?

All of the games.

All of them, nigtard.

Has compatibility mode worked for literally anything it's recommended for?
I can't think of a single instance. Share your success stories.

It's dogshit. Also, some older games have 16 bit installers, which absolutely do not work on 64 bit Windows.

Good joke.

If you install WINE on Windows you can run 16-bit executables.

virtual pc

XP mode if you have windows 7 pro or better

just turn off networking. the VM doesn't need to be exposed if you're just playing games

is WINE better than Windows 3.1 on top of DOSBOX?

What are you using to see windows from different VMs on the same desktop with color coded title bars?
