Administrators AWS Posted April 23, 2013 Administrators Posted April 23, 2013 This is more of a statement than a question, but it might help those of us who will continue to use XP as a Guest O/S after next mid-April. And maybe someone will have some advice. Recently, I had to reinstall Win 7. Despite its saving most Program files, I had to reinstall VMWare from my external HD list [i put all my created and downloaded files there] of programs and the XP HE from its disk. Something I never had thought of up till now, with loads of Updates getting jammed in the pipeline and taking days to install, was that I should have backed up XP, using the ntbackup that can be installed from the XP CD. This is now crucial, as there won't be any Support for XP soon enough. I only need XP for running old, Win 7-incompatible programs that I'm used to and can't afford to update. View this thread
