Microsoft Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool

Microsoft has released, Hardware-assisted virtualization (HAV) detection tool to check if your computer processor supports hardware virtualization and if this setting is enabled on the processor.

Windows Virtual PC (Windows XP Mode) requires processors capable of hardware-assisted virtualization with AMD-V, Intel VT or VIA VT turned on in the BIOS.

Windows XP Mode allows users of Windows 7 Professional (or higher) the ability to run Windows XP productivity applications that may not be compatible with Windows 7.

Check if your PC hardware works with Windows XP Mode by downloading and running Hardware-assisted virtualization (HAV) detection tool.
