I am thinking of switching to Win 8.1 (not the Pro version). At the moment still using Win 7 64 HomePremium with Virtual PC as I still have some old special DOS programs running in an XP pro Dos Box and Excel 2003 which still can read Quattro WQ1 files.
My question: what (free) software to use with Win 8.1 (not the Pro version) to run Windows XP Pro in a virtual box?

Hi Teunis,
I agree with Joe. VirtualBox is definitely going to be one of the best choices you have....
See these links for tutorials on setting up a Windows XP environment using VirtualBox:
