![]() ![]() This would be to work on iOS/Webplayer/Android/Windows projects Or maybe install VMware Fusion 3/VisualStudio/Windows7 on a partition on an Internal Hard Disk? ReShaper working with Visual Studio under Virtual Machine setup? Double clicking on error messages from Unity and automatically opening c# files in Visual Studio Saved changes to c# file seen by Unity in real time Work with Visual Studio on c# files located on one of my Internal Hard Disks. or Pro later and starting with Express now) installed on this External Hard Disk Having a Virtual Machine located on this external Hard Disk and install Windows 7 (professional 64 bit? I guess) on this same external hard disk Install VMware Fusion 3 on an External Firewire or USB Hard Disk Is the following possible and working for some of you? But this time around I was thinking to go back to Visual Studio (used it long time ago with basic Visual Basic and C++ learning). eventually had to stop (life/work, whatever). started getting into c# some time ago using monodevelop. Of course running Unity 3 latest version. I have an Intel Mac Pro (a few years old), running OSX 10.6.7. Since Microsoft knows there are lot of XP holdouts wanting to go to 7, obviously they have provided a shortcut through the upgrade process and that's where Easy Transfer comes to play, that is this your only path if switching from 32-bit XP to Win 圆4 (to preserve settings).I did find some information on this topic searching the forum, but mostly old posts, and as features/compatibility change with newer versions I thought it may be a good idea to ask about this for some more up to date answers/help from current users of a similar setup Whatever your opinion this is a legitimate path. ![]() I switched the Guest OS setting from XP to Vista, performed that upgrade (settings are preserved), then switch the guest OS to Win 7 and upgraded again. And a lot of Windows owners do own under-used copies of Vista as way of upgrading XP. I'm not saying directly XP to 7 in one step, did you miss the part of upgrading to Vista first? You can do that preserving your XP settings, then from Vista upgrade to 7, again preserving settings. So the normal average user does not have the option to do a direct in-place upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7 and therefore when I make a statement such as Windows XP is not directly upgradeable to Windows 7 it is in the context of what choices the normal average user is presented and if you choose to test an unsupported installation method that's fine but it's not applicable in this context. Go online to learn how to use Windows Easy Transfer to install Windows 7 and keep your files and settings"! Note that "applications" are not mentioned in that message as well. which plainly and clearly states "You can't directly upgrade from Windows XP to Windows 7. ![]() and then click on Upgrade you get the following. When attempting to install Windows 7 from Windows XP when you get the screen shown below. On the "directly upgradeable" note, personally, I've done XP to Vista to 7 upgrades (not adviseable) but they do work, so long as you keep to the same architecture (x86 or 圆4).Īccording to Microsoft own documentation Windows 7 does not provide a direct in-place upgrade from Windows XP that will retain user’s applications, programs, settings, customizations, personalization and data while performing an installation of Windows 7. And as to whether or not to keep the Windows XP Virtual Machine because some applications might not run in Windows 7 if one is using upgrade media then of course one is not legally entitled to keep the Windows XP Virtual Machine therefore that case use scenario is moot under that condition. Again I'm not saying don't do it and it is a valuable tool especially if you are doing a major migration involving many systems and many applications but suffice it to say for the average Fusion user I think it's a waste of time and if one is going to install Windows 7 they should just create a new Virtual Machine and go from there. IMO when working with a Virtual Machine and going when going from Windows XP to Windows 7 especially in light of the fact that XP is not directly upgradeable and XP Mode will not run under a Fusion Virtual Machine and Windows 7 will advise you upon installing an incompatible application anyway it just seems like a waste of time to even bother running the Upgrade Adviser. If this were a physical PC I wouldn't hesitate to run the Upgrade Adviser but probably more so specifically for hardware than software however and especially if Windows XP was directly upgradeable to Windows 7, which of course it is not, and I did not say don't run it.
