Got it, thanx all.

I wasn't using the VM, the VM cannot connect to the internet.

[QUOTE=Bree;2551267]I don't know about Win7 Pro, but I can confirm that my Win 7 Home Premium Hyper-V VM will only work with the Legacy Network Adapter.



Thank you. Following the Nakivo guide,...

Nope, thanx, but that didn't work. Then I started a new VM using the default switch, but, still, no joy.

I have installed a Win 7 Pro VM on a Win 10 laptop (Version 10.0.19044, Build 19044), and attempting to bring up the internet, the system states, I'm connected, but the reality proves elsewise. I...

The two VMs we set up will not recognize USB, and have set it up through the menu, as you suggest.

As far a dual booting, we have 30TB of space on several SDDs and HDDs (internal and external) and...

I've tried both Hyper V and VMWare, and cannot get USB on either, nor internet on Hyper V

Thanx for the invitation, I've been there, and enjoyed my visit immensely, but too old─and retired─to be digging new roots.

As to the VMWare install, it was so simple, but now that it's installed...

Yep, we're still the Tar Heel State, and it sounds as though you're doing much more with XP, and making $$$ with it─good for you, I'm a vigorous proponent of capitalism.

Thanx, Jimbo, I'll try this.

Tip

Kari in his tutorial on Hyper V install with XP states that Opera's browser version 15.0.1147.130 will work, but installing it offline, I'm not seeing it when I load the XP VM.

I'm up to 3 attempts at installing an XP machine on Hyper V (Windows 10 Pro), and though I can get the machine to run, I cannot find the browser I installed. Using the Hyper V tutorial, I followed...

Looking at "Get-WindowsOptionalFeature –Online –FeatureName SMB1Protocol in Powershell," it states it's enabled.

The Legacy Network Adapter is connected to an external switch that I created; and I have tried the default switch, but neither works.
