Steve, what version of XP. ie sp3 sp2? I might have something kicking

SP3

I tried the keys you posted above and NG.

7 Pro looks like the way to go since it apparently has the XP Mode,
but not sure how to go about upgrading my 7 Home ...


Stick with VirtualBox.

You can't get AnyTime Upgrades for Windows 7 any more. They
were taken off the market, well before they stopped making
regular install kits.

You should look for a WinXP key. If that's what you really want.

Check around your local computer stores. I have a
couple "recyclers", and one just handles "surplus"
computing (brand new stuff, not popular, quite old).
That's where I'd start if I was looking for a WinXP
key locally. That's the only place I could
count on, to give me a good price.

Why do you prefer Virtualbox over VMware Player? I use VMware
Workstation and I much prefer it over Virtualbox. Just interested why
you choose one over the other.
