Windows 7 XP Mode with Parallels

[Lann]

Has anyone tried running Windows 7 XP Mode with Parallels on the 2011 Macbook Pro's? Does it still not work with Parallels?

PS I initially replied to a similar topic in the 'Mac Applications and Mac App Store' topic, but I thought it best to post the same topic here.

I have mbp 15" with Parallels 6 and Windows XP installed. Is working perfectly for me so far. I am not sure I understand your question.

im asking if windows XP mode, inside windows 7, will work on parallels on 2011 Macbook Pros

It will probably work as XP Mode no longer requires hardware virtualisation, which it will not be able to access if it's running inside a virtual machine.

What this would be doing though is running a virtual machine inside a virtual machine so expect it to be slow and also have no graphics acceleration.

im only going to need it to play on old games from 10 or so years ago, if they dont work in windows 7
