I would like to run Win 98SE, XP and 7 on my laptop to play many of the old games I used to love and have collecting dust.
Here is my dilemma. I currently have Vista Home installed but just got my Win7 Home upgrade. To run XP compatibility in Win7 I need to purchase Win7 Pro anytime upgrade at $85 and I don't know it the games would run in compatibility mode. My second option is: I still have a Win98 and XP CD's with license but my WinXP Pro version is the original 32bit version I believe. I'd probably have to upgrade to the XP 64bit at $90 for Home or $140 for Pro.
So What to do? Tri Boot and how? Upgrade Win7 to Pro and Hope everything works in compatibility mode which I doubt.
Thanks,
Tom
